best lines in the books?

My personla favourites are the ones that show just what makes Harry Harry. 
Here they come:

'He went to have a look. The tub was full of what looked like dirty rags 
swimming in gray water.
"What's this?" he asked Aunt Petunia. Her lips tightened as they always did 
if he dared to ask a question.
"Your new school uniform," she said.
Harry looked in the bowl again.
"Oh," he said, "I didn't realize it had to be so wet."'
(p. 33, SSpb) -  just now with the discussion of Ron And The Dress Robes 
>From Hell, can you see the difference?

'"He is," said the first twin. "Aren't you?" he added to Harry.
"What?" said Harry.
"Harry Potter," chorused the twins."
"Oh, him," said Harry. "I mean, yes, I am."'
(p. 95, SSpb) - he is in the wizarding world barely five minutes and already 
thinks there is a difference between the famous Harry Potter and him.

'"Yeh could've died!" sobbed Hagrid. "An' don' say the name!"
"VOLDEMORT!" Harry bellowed, and Hagrid was so shocked, he stopped crying.'
(p. 303, SSpb) - makes me laugh every time I imagine small Harry Potter 
*bellowing* at large Hagrid who is so shocked he looks like the Hogwarts 
Express ran him over. Also brilliantly shows Harry's attitude towards 
Voldemort.

'"You mean you're running away?" said Harry diabelievingly. "After all the 
stuff you did in your books-"
"Books can be misleading," said Lockhart delicately.
"You wrote them!" Harry shouted.'
(p. 297, CoS USpb) - this is so Harry. And apart from when he blew up Aunt 
Marge and attacked Sirius the only time I can remember him being described 
as absolutely spitting with rage and even forcing a teacher at wandpoint. 
Just shows that for Harry it is incomprehensible that somebody who is 
supposedly qualified for the job - and even if he isn't - doesn't help 
somebody in need even if it threatens his own life.
