** Season 5's ChristmasEpisode. Upon seeing what a dreadful Christmas Roxie would have on her own, the aunts cancel their family reunion at the house and invite Roxie to spend the holiday with them. And Roxie even sneaks out on Christmas Eve to buy presents for the aunts as thanks. D'awww.

* In the [[Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch 90s series]], Sabrina finally catches a break at the end of the pilot episode where - after accidentally turning Libby into a pineapple and risking public humiliation over it - the Witches Council turn back time for her. Not only does she one-up Libby, she aces the pop quiz in history, catches the football that hit her on the head the previous time, and makes plans to see a movie with Harvey and Jenny. She gets to see the good side of being a witch. There's also a sweet moment of her picking up Salem and dancing around with him.

* In “Boy Was My Face Red”, after Sabrina gets humiliated and people are laughing at her, Gordie helps her get up after she trips and quickly gets her out of the school. He is also the only one who shows any pity and comfort for her since he knows what it’s like to be laughed at.

** Earlier in the episode the reason she has the party in the first place is because Valerie said she was in order to one-up Libby. When Valerie is about to be busted, Sabrina comes to her rescue and agrees to throw the party.

* Earlier in Season 1 when Sabrina shrinks to three inches because of [[ItMakesSenseInContext how low she feels]], she hears about the exciting lives her aunts had before she moved in - they had servants, weekends in Tuscany, went Formula 1 racing and had a disco where her room is now - and worries that taking her in was "the biggest mistake you guys ever made."

* In "Hilda and Zelda: the Teenage Years", Sabrina's aunts disguise themselves as teenagers in order to supervise Sabrina for an outing. Throughout the episode, Sabrina proves again and again how much more capable and mature her aunts give her credit. Towards the end of the episode, Libby offers Sabrina to join her and the band she's been trying to get with, but only if Sabrina leaves behind her "cousins". Sabrina doesn't hesitate to refuse the offer, clarifying that she's not going to abandon them. In turn, when they get home, Zelda and Hilda reward Sabrina by letting her [[MakesSenseInContext fly a vacuum]] for one night.

* The Friday the 13th episode - Sabrina learns there's a loophole that she can tell a mortal her secret for the day (and their memories will be erased at midnight). Her aunts didn't tell her because of their bad experiences with telling mortals (everyone thought Zelda was insane when she did, and Hilda got subjected to BurnTheWitch). Nonetheless Sabrina confesses first to Valerie - who finds it so cool. There's a GoodTimesMontage of Sabrina entertaining Valerie with her magic - the whole time looking so happy that she can share the secret with her best friend. Harvey is told too and he finds it just as cool.

** Season 5's ChristmasEpisode. Upon seeing what a dreadful Christmas Roxie would have on her own, the aunts cancel their family reunion at the house and invite Roxie to spend the holiday with them. And Roxie even sneaks out on Christmas Eve to buy presents for the aunts as thanks. D'awww.

* When Hilda and Zelda disguise themselves as teenagers to chaperone a trip to see the Music/ViolentFemmes, the group gets the chance to party with the band after. Libby wants to exclude the aunts for how they've behaved, but Sabrina won't go without them (and Harvey and Gordie back her up immediately). Later at home, the aunts reward her by letting her use the flying vacuum cleaner.

* Season 2's HalloweenEpisode. After the chaos at the party dies down, the guests think all the crazy Other Realm stuff was AllPartOfTheShow and Sabrina conjures up the 10,000 Maniacs to perform "Rainy Day" - with a sweet sequence of all the characters dancing to the music.

* In one episode, Sabrina has a gift ticket to see any dead person for one hour. After spending most of the episode thinking about choosing James Dean or some other celebrity, she chooses her grandma instead.

* In "Ice Station Sabrina", Sabrina was willing to risk using her magic in front of Brad rather than allowing Brad, Harvey, and Salem to die in a collapsing fire tower. (She even explicitly says, "I gotta save you guys; I don't care what happens to me.") This troper found that particularly heartwarming.

* In one episode, Sabrina has a gift ticket to see any dead person for one hour. After spending most of the episode thinking about choosing James Dean or some other celebrity, she chooses her grandma instead.

* "Sabrina and the Beast" - despite being initially repulsed by Harvey's new beast form, Sabrina decides to spend time with him anyway. They enjoy each other's company and she legitimately forgets that he's a beast. This gives her the realisation that she loves him for who he is; not what he looks like.

* In “Boy Was My Face Red”, after Sabrina gets humiliated and people are laughing at her, Gordie helps her get up after she trips and quickly gets her out of the school. He is also the only one who shows any pity and comfort for her since he knows what it’s like to be laughed at.

* Sabrina's PetTheDog moment to Libby in Season 2's ChristmasEpisode. She spends the whole episode getting tortured by her BrattyHalfPint of a stepbrother - which is PlayedForLaughs most of the time. But when Sabrina acts as Santa, she points her finger at Libby's house. Cut to the stepbrother giving Libby a handmade jewellery box with her name on it. Libby is unambiguously moved by this.

* Near the end of the series, Salem goes into full-on SincerityMode about how much he cares about Sabrina's well-being and happiness. All the while, he doesn't lose his usual [[CatsAreSnarkers catlike]] tone of voice, which if anything makes it seem even more sincere than if he'd ''tried'' to sound sincere. Also poignant because he's the only character besides Sabrina to remain a regular for the entire series--no one else has been with her that long, so he ''should'' be the one to make that speech.

(She even explicitly says, "I gotta save you guys; I don't care what happens to me.") This troper found that particularly heartwarming.

* In "Ice Station Sabrina", Sabrina was willing to risk using her magic in front of Brad rather than allowing Brad, Harvey, and Salem to die in a collapsing - even in a situation where she herself may well have survived due to her half-witch status. (She even explicitly says, "I gotta save you guys; I don't care what happens to me.") This troper found that particularly heartwarming.
