My first favorite Harry moment is when he and Ron are getting acquainted and 
Harry is so NOT full of his own celebrity:

*******************
SS/PS US version p.98-99

"Are you really Harry Potter?" Ron blurted out.
Harry nodded.
<snip>
"And have you really got  you know..."
He pointed at Harry's forehead.
Harry pulled back his bangs to show the lightning scar.
<snip>
"Are all your family wizards?" asked Harry, who found Ron just as 
interesting as Ron found him...
***************

And the second is when Harry unselfishly shares his newfound wealth with 
Ron:

*******************
SS/PS US version p.101-102

Around half past twelve there was a great clattering outside in the corridor 
and a smiling, dimpled woman slid back their door and said, Anything off 
the cart, dears?
Harry, who hadnt had any breakfast, leapt to his feet, but Rons ears went 
pink again and he muttered that hed brought sandwiches.
<snip>
Ron stared as Harry brought it all back in to the compartment and tipped it 
onto an empty seat.
Hungry, are you?"
Starving, said Harry, taking a large bite out of a pumpkin pasty.
Ron had taken out a lumpy package and unwrapped it. There were four 
sandwiches inside. He pulled one of them apart and said, She always forgets 
I dont like corned beef.
Swap you for one of these, said Harry, holding up a pasty. Go on 
You dont want this, its all dry, said Ron. She hasnt got much time, 
he added quickly, you know, with five of us.
Go on, have a pasty, said Harry, who had never had anything to share 
before or, indeed, anyone to share it with. It was a nice feeling, sitting 
there with Ron, eating their way through all Harrys pasties, cakes, and 
candies (the sandwiches lay forgotten)
