Well, think about it: he's spent a very emotional and difficult 
year, dealing with the death of a classmate, a dementor attack, 
nearly getting thrown out of his home and expelled from school, plus 
the whole thing with LV coming back and no one believing him about 
that. He's had nightmares, and a nightmare relationship with Cho, no 
Quidditch, too much studying, DU hates him, DD ignores him, he 
doesn't know how to deal with Sirius and Ron and Hermione keep 
fighting. And to top it all off he has just learned some surprising 
and negative truths about his mother and father, whom he has always 
idolized as being wonderful, kind people. Harry is, basically a boy 
at the end of his rope. A simple gesture like a chocolate Easter egg 
from two people (Mr and Mrs Weasley) that care about him probably 
says to him a little something about unconditional love right now, 
something he has no memory of experienceing.
