I have to say that Harry's adolescent anger resulted in some good lines, IMO 
at least :)

When Harry found out Ron had told Hermione he'd been muttering something 
about a little bit farther in his sleep:
"I dreamed I was watching you lot play Quidditch," Harry lied brutally, "I 
was trying to get you to stretch out a bit further to grab the Quaffle."

<snickers>

Some other favorites of mine:

"Who do you imagine wants to attack children like yourselves?" inquired 
Professor Umbridge in a horrible honeyed voice."
"Hmm, let's think..." said Harry in a mock thoughtful voice, "maybe Lord 
Voldemort?"

"Harry, don't go picking a row with Malfoy, don't forget, he's a prefect now, 
he could make life difficult for you..."
"Wow, I wonder what it'd be like to have a difficult life?" said Harry 
sarcastically.

"We've got a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Umbridge.  
She's nearly as nice as your mum."

"Honest, Harry, they're brains - look - Accio Brain!"


I don't know what it was about thislast one that struck me as so funny, but 
in my second reading I couldn't stop laughing over it, even considering I knew 
what was coming next in the book

Who cannot ever call OotP her favorite book because Sirius died in it...but 
maybe second favorite behind POA despite that...
