Okay, if we look at these they relate to many different relationships 
in the book.  I'm trying to brainstorm the possibilities.

Storge
-The Potters (in terms of Lily's sacrifice, grandparents, the Potters 
taking in Sirius etc.)
-The Evans (Petunia and Lily, the parental relationships, the 
Dursleys and Harry)
-The Weasleys  (maybe this refers less to Harry then to Percy?, maybe 
all the W's aren't W's, Ginny's growing role, Harry and Hermione's 
place in the family, inter-Weasley "politics")
- Hagrid, Grawp and Fridwulfa
-Neville and his parents
-Snape's background
-The Black/Malfoy/Lestrange family issues

Philia
-Brotherly love of James/Remus/Sirius  
-Harry/Ron/Hermione
-Trio relationships with Ginny, Neville, Luna
-Sirius and Harry  with some similar thread possibilities with Remus 
stepping in 
-Harry the Weasleys
-The order of the phoenix

Eros
Obviously this depends on what ship you sail but a few
-James and Lily (when did her feelings change, etc.)
-Lily and any/every other adult male in the potterverse (Snape, 
Remus...)
-Ron/Hermione  Or Harry/Hermione
-Harry and whoever those future kisses are coming from
-Bill and Fleur 

Agape
-Harry and the wizarding world (in terms of fame, sacrifice, fate 
etc.)
-Dumbledore
-the relationship between magic and love, we already know there is 
some strong magic involving love
