This is an area that has been most puzzling especially since JKR's 
statement, from the Edinburgh Book Festival, that the portraits 
more or less repeat catch phrases. I have found several instances 
were the portrait has presented itself with present day concerns 
that they communicate about. For instance, there is Phineas who, 
upon hearing of his great grandson's apparent death appears 
distraught and proceeds to his Grimmald portrait for verification. 
(OOP The Lost Prophecy "Am I to understand," [
] "that my great-
great-grandson-the last of the Blacks-is dead?" [
] 
"I
don't 
believe it,") Again with Phineas, who makes an astute observation 
when Dumbledore escapes apprehension, declares to Fudge, that if 
nothing else Dumbledore has style. (OOP The Centaur and the 
Sneak "You know Minister, I disagree with Dumbledore on many 
counts
but you cannot deny he's got style
") 

Lisa here:
Snow has reminded me how MUCH I LOVE Phineas- purely for that last quote "but you 
cannot deny he's got style..." (it's even better when Jim Dale says it). Just curious what 
everyone else's favorite HP quotes are.
