How about the one scene after Harry gave the interview to Rita and 
was posted in the Quibbler and Prof. Trelawney started to predict 
him good fortune all the sudden (ripe old age, minister of magic, 12 
kids)
Another one is when Peeves is running havoc after the Weasley twins 
have left and tries then to unscrew an chandelier, when McGonagall 
passing by, wispered "it unscrews the other way".
