Colwilrin:

Great Moments...What a great thread!  Thank you for starting this one 
up.

My absolute fav...When, in Snape's memory, DD asks him about his doe 
patronus and says "after all this time?"...and Snape simply 
replies "always"...that had me crying.  

Second...as Harry is walking to find Voldy in the woods.  With all his 
loved ones around, he asks if dying will hurt.  This was such a natural 
question for a 17 year old to ask those he loves.  It gave humanity and 
veracity to the moment.

Third...Harry burying Dobby...never knew I would have that deep of a 
reaction for Dobby!

Fourth...Molly offing Bella...reminded me of the stories you hear about 
women having unusual episodes of strength to lift cars off of their 
children in times of great emergency.  As a mother, I have long felt 
that I would have the power to defend my child at any cost.

Fifth...Neville...tattered but not beaten...coming into his own as a 
rebel leader at Hogwarts!
