I love these, in fact I love everything you listed and agree with 
them, but that means I should list different ones, heheh.

I love, love, love how JKR IMO subtly showed in HBP that Harry's 
ability to love is indeed unusual.

He felt brief compassion for Tom Riddle and drop of pity for Malfoy.

Yes, yes, I know compassion for Tom Riddle was brief and went away 
right away. But to me the fact that he was **able** to feel it even 
for the shortest period of time is SO amazing. I mean amazing that 
he could feel anything positive for the man who brought so much 
misery in his life, who killed his parents, took so many loved ones 
from him, etc.

I thought JKR did a brilliant job with this, absolutely brilliant.


What else did I love? Oh, of course Graveyard. I was amazed how very 
strong he managed to be while facing the horrible torture.


I love, love how Harry grows through the books, how complex of the 
character he becomes ( angry teenager in OOP was amazing in my 
opinion - the only thing I loved about that book).

I will come back with more later :)

Thanks Sherry :)
