 or  the character's situation? It doesn't even have to be a character you generally identify with---just a moment that particularly speaks to you.
 




akh weighs in:

I found myself profoundly moved by the description of Tonks when Harry sees her laid out, looking as if she's asleep.  Knowing what she sacrificed to be with Lupin and make a better world for her baby son really hit me in that simple description.

Perhaps a less popular moment for others was when I read Lily's letter to Sirius, which really brought her alive for me.  I was not offended at all by the vase incident; in fact, I thought it demonstrated that she still has affection for her sister, displaying a vase she finds awful, simply because Petunia gave it to her.  Let's be honest: if  she hated it and didn't care about Petunia, Harry wouldn't have been able to break it, because it would have been tossed in the back of a closet, or more probably, returned for a more acceptable gift.  

akh, who would love to tell you all she's been thrilled with every gift her sister ever gave her, but would be lying to a large crowd
