Many of my favorite Harry moments have been mentioned already, such
as his spontaneous smart-talking Snape to his noble actions of
saving his enemy Wormtail and feeling compassion/pity for his
nemeses to bringing Dumbledore back from the cave, but I think I can
add a few:

1. All the sessions with Lupin, learning to make a Patronus.  I
admire his determination.  Knowing how difficult and advanced magic
Lupin says it is, Harry is discouraged only a little and he persists.

2. Threatening George and Fred that if they don't accept his
winnings, he'd hex them.  I laughed -- he does know some good ones
now!  I also had a feeling their stuff would come in handy in the
War, like the line of shield stuff they come up with later.

3. Harry getting some attitude at the beginning of OotP.  Jo has
that frustrated teenage boy personality just bang on!  I could
hardlly stop laughing as he kept smarting Dudley.

4. Harry's forceful insisting that Arthur Weasley is fatally injured
in OotP, and his difficulty to make the Hogwarts staff understand
him/take him seriously.  Then feeling simultaneously relieved that
Mr. Weasley will recover and very awkward when the family thanks him
profusely.  Also in HPB when he kept telling Ron and Hermione about
Malfoy, and ended up being right.  It takes a lot of gumption to
hold to something when no one around you will support it.

5. Harry fights within himself about his feelings for Ginny, being
Ron's sister in HBP.  And my GOD that kiss!!! *sigh* yeah, I'm a
hopeless romantic, I love sappy moments.

Overall, I LOVE how he develops as a character throughout the books,
from a scared, naive boy thrust into another world to the brave,
noble hero at 16. And he's already got the girl!
