Joey:

Both types of acts (small & big) I think. These were what I thought of when I read the passage (apart from Lily's sacrifice and Voldemort's downfall):

1. DD's explanation of why LV could not possess Harry at MoM in OoTP climax

2. DD had told Harry about Pettigrew being in Harry's debt because Harry saved Pettigrew's life and that there would come a time when Harry will not regret having saved his life.

3. DD had told how Harry got the Gryffindor's sword in the CoS at a time when Harry was feeling uneasy about the Sorting Hat's view that Harry has it in him to do well in Slytherin - that one's choices are what that actually matter. {This may not be a "big scale act" but yet it is significant}

4. DD's explanation of why Quirrell could not touch Harry
