Ginny defending Harry (standing up to Draco).
Dumbledore not telling Harry about the prophecy.
The second task in the tournament (Krum->Hermione, Cedric->Cho, Fleur-
>Gabrielle).
Molly, Molly, Molly - the thing that scares her most is the death of 
members of her family (including Harry!), not anything that would 
happen to her.
Hermione endlessly helping Harry (and Ron and Hagrid) whenever they 
need her.
Hagrid towards his monster pets (particularly Norbert, of course).
Hagrid towards Dumbledore and the trio.
Petunia towards Dudley AND Vernon towards both Petunia and Dudley.
Winkey towards the Crouch family (it's not just the magical bond - 
she continues to love and want to serve them even after the bond is 
severed).
Sirius risking being caught in order to help Harry (in GoF).
Ron facing up to his arachnophobia in order to help save Hermione.
Ron joining Harry to go save Ginny.


Also just off the top of my head.
