Pippin:
No such list would be complete without Dumbledore's famous Gleam, 
though I doubt you failed to notice it <g>

Here are some other, mostly to do with Lupin, I'm afraid:

"However, due to a lucky mistake I arrived at the Ministry 
three hours early, so no harm done." (OOtP-US 8,139)


The name Professor R.J. Lupin was stamped across one 
corner in peeling letters. (PoA-US 5, 74)

"Forward, Neville, and finish him off!" said Lupin as the boggart
landed on the floor as a cockroach. (PoA-US 7, 139)

"I made an entire cauldronful," Snape continued, "if you need more." 
(PoA-US 8, 156)

An odd, closed expression appeared on Lupin's face. (PoA-US 14,288)

"As long as I take it in the week preceding the full moon, I keep my
mind when I transform...I am able to curl up in my office, a harmless
wolf, and wait for the moon to wane again." (PoA-US 18, 353)

"He let me into Hogwarts as a boy,and he gave me a job
when I have been shunned all my life, unable to find paid
work because of what I am." (PoA-US 18, 356)


"So that's why Snape doesn't like you," said Harry slowly, "because
he thought you were in on the joke?" (PoA-US 18, 357)

"Not if he thought I was the spy, Peter," said Lupin. (PoA-US 19, 373)

The moon drifted in and out of sight behind the shifting clouds.
(PoA-US 21,408) 

Lupin shifted the grindylow tank slightly so that he and Dumbledore
could shake hands. (PoA-US 21,425) 

"I think it depends on what they're offered," said Lupin. "And I'm 
not talking about gold; if they're offered freedoms we've
been denying them for centuries they're going to be tempted."  
(OOtP-US 5, 85)

...and Lupin, who was staying in the house with Sirius, but who
left it for long periods to do mysterious work for the Order...
(OOtP-US 6 ,118)

When he next looked up, night had fallen and the Quidditch
pitch was no longer visible. (OOtP-US 13,274) 

"I know she's a nasty piece of work though -- you should
hear Remus talk about her." (OOtP-US 14, 302)

Harry heard Bellatrix Lestrange's triumphant scream but
knew it meant nothing -- (OOtP-US 35, 806)

"Master, I am sorry, I knew not, I was fighting the 
Animagus Black!" sobbed Bellatrix, flinging herself
down at Voldemort's feet as he slowly paced nearer.
(OOtP-US 36, 812)

"You are not his master, he could lie to you without
even needing to punish himself." (OOtP-US 37, 829)

Note that the two quotes about the moon contradict
Harry's implied understanding of how the transformation
works, and that Lupin's account of his work history is
contradicted by the evidence of the case.
