You bet! LOL.

Me:

Um, I like:

* Hermione for the help she gave Hagrid in PoA despite her awful 
workload - I'm not sure if I have this in me; I'll try though

* Remus Lupin for his gentle and calm approach towards handling 
things - Nice approach and I'd want to try out something similar

* Harry for his ability to forgive (at least over time) and to save 
people in danger even if they meant to harm him just a second 
before - I think I have got some of this in me but Harry seems to be 
clearly a shade or two better than I am, IMO :)

* Luna for her calm thinking and approach despite being in grave 
danger (reference: Malfoy Manor in DH) - Tough one; I need to try.

* Ron for his ability to see the "other" perspective i.e. I'm quite 
Hermionish myself :-) and some of Ron's remarks about her made me 
realize a few things about myself. Hmmm... Interesting chap! :)

* Dumbledore for his sense to allow people to refresh themselves 
before he gives his welcome speech - I hope I'm as thoughtful :) 

* Madam Pomfrey for her caring and healing nature and "she usually 
doesn't ask many questions" - I've got this I guess

* Cedric for his fairplay in the Triwizard Tournament (especially in 
the final round) - I've got this I guess

* Minerva for her handling of Umbridge during the inspection and 
during Harry's career discussion - I'm almost there :)

* Kingsley for his attitude on equality of human lives irrespective 
of their birth - I've got this I guess

* Neville for his spirit (especially OoTP onwards) - I'm almost there

* Snape for his bravery - Tough one; I need to try. 

More later, may be. :)
