This one gave me fits of laughter when I read it:
... Professor Trelawney broke into hysterical sobs during Divination
and announced to the startled class, and a very disapproving Umbridge,
that Harry was *not* going to suffer an early death after all, but 
would live to a ripe old age, become Minister of Magic, and have 
twelve children.

I found myself liking Trelawney in OoP, something that had never
happened before...
