Two favorites (which I know is cheating, but...):

OotP, Ch. 29, "Career Advice": 'And I must tell  you that Professor Snape absolutely refuses 
to take students who get anything other than  "Outstanding" in their OWLs, so -' 
Professor Umbridge gave her most pronounced cough yet. 
'May I offer you a cough drop, Dolores?' Professor McGonagall asked curtly, without 
looking  at Professor Umbridge. 

GoF, Ch. 20, "The First Test": Ron grinned nervously at him, and Harry grinned back 
 Hermione burst into tears.  
'There's nothing to cry about!'  Harry told her, bewildered.    
'You two are so stupid!' she shouted, stamping her foot on the ground, tears  splashing 
down her front.  Then, before either of them could stop her, she had given both  of them a 
hug and dashed away, now positively howling.  
'Barking mad,' said Ron, shaking his head.  


In each case, the punch line itself isn't particularly funny, but it pays off on pages and 
pages of character development and makes me howl....

Antosha, who looks forward to new favorites in the next XX months....
