"I don't think you should be an Auror, Harry," said Luna 
unexpectedly. Everybody looked at her. "The Aurors are part of the 
Rotfang Conspiracy, I thought everyone knew that. They're working 
from within to bring down the Ministry of Magic using a combination 
of Dark magic and gum disease."

This line is funnier because of the timing, (Snape's getting up 
Harry's nose just before this). But I also found Harry's private 
response to Luna's remark touching. The quote above continues...

Harry inhaled half his mead up his nose as he started to laugh. 
Really, it had been worth bringing Luna to the party just for this. 

As well as the laughs, HBP was enjoyable for me because of the 
number of times I 'felt moved' by what was going on, the best for me 
being DD's "I am with you Harry." Anyone else like to nominate 
scenes/events/plot developments that gave them a warm glow? 
 
njelliot 2003, who also got a laugh out of DD being introduced as 
Dunderbore.
