Pippin identified a few potential examples of "Bangst:"

>  Seeing Voldemort kill  the spare right in front of you --Bang!
> Thinking it was your fault because you made him take the cup 
> with you--Angst! 
> 
>  You find out your pal is a traitor when you discover the murdered 
> bodies of your best friend and his wife -- Bang!
> You realize he couldn't have done it if it weren't for your clever 
> idea --Angst!

Hmmm.  But there are lots of examples of Bang without Angst, which 
shows JKR might not be a "Bangsta" after all.

In the Shrieking Shack, Lupin and Sirius almost execute Pettigrew, 
to the point of raising their wands and saying goodbye.  They seem 
not the least bit troubled by this.

Harry throws a badge and hits Ron in the forehead, but doesn't seem 
the least bit remorseful or angst-ridden.
