Harry? Oh. Are the books about him? (Just joking!)

My favorite Harry moment is when Harry, for the first time, feels
sorry for Snape and understands why he regards James as he does. Too
bad Snape misreads his feeling so badly, but at least he had it.

I also admire Harry for saving Peter Pettigrew (or rather, preventing
Lupin and Black from becoming murderers) but I'm not sure it qualifies
as a favorite moment. The same with saving Dudley. Exactly the right
thing to do, but I was more wrapped up in the excitement of the moment
than identifying with Harry. (OTOH, I *loved* Mrs. figg hitting
Mundungus with the catfood cans. I don't know why, since I don't
approve of violence, but it was funny and he deserved it and it was a
Squib getting the better of a wizard.)

Another favorite moment, one that makes me smile, is Harry remembering
"Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak," and smiling through his tears at
Dumbledore's funeral. I smiled through my tears, too.

Carol, realizing that many of her favorite moments are funny ones
involving Ron rather than Harry, who, alas, is too busy dealing with
being a Quidditch champion and the boy with the scar and worrying
about Voldemort to be amusing
