* Dumbledore stopping Trelawny from being sent away from the school. Prior to this scene, Umbridge had all of Treawny's belongings packed up and set in the courtyard where most of the students and staff could see her. The poor woman begged Umbridge not to send her away and she smugly stated that she had the power to do so. Also doubles as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome when Dumbledore tells Umbridge that she has no authority over his teachers' homes.

* Towards the end of the book, Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle attempt to ambush Harry on the train when nobody is looking. They foolishly stage their attack right outside a compartment full of members of Dumbledore's Army, who see what is about to happen and end up hexing and jinxing the three into enormous slugs. What's heartwarming about this is that at the beginning of the term, the Sorting Hat encouraged the students of Hogwarts to stand united against darkness, regardless of which house they were in. And although Harry and Ron had misgivings about how they could come together, it's absolutely clear that the D.A. has accomplished that goal and brought the students from at least 3 of the 4 houses together- which is only made more awesome in the 6th book.

The fact that he trusts her, a junior Auror, is enough to make this troper squee happily.

* There's one tiny moment that's incredibly heartwarming for how subtle it is. After seeing Ron make a fool of himself, basking in his new found glory as a Quidditch hero, Harry smiles and the lines note that Harry was reminded of his father. This is heartwarming because Harry suffered a BrokenPedestal on seeing his father bullying Snape and acting different from how he imagined and being unconvinced by Sirius and Remus telling him that his Dad was fifteen. Seeing Ron behave like that, makes him understand those words for the first time and love both his father and Ron.

* The twins trying to cheer up a younger student after The fat cow formally known as Umbridge makes him write lines. (You know the ones that leave scars?)

to:

!!From the Book:
* At the end of ''The Order of the Phoenix'', after [[spoiler:Sirius]]'s death and probably knowing how bad Harry was feeling, several of the Order, including Moody, Lupin, Mr. Weasley, and Tonks, go up to the Dursleys. They all speak in casual tones to them, but the threat is still there. If the Dursleys mistreat Harry in any way, the Order ''will'' find out.
* The twins trying fact that it's [=McGonagall=] saying the following quote is what makes it a million times more heartwarming than if anyone else had said it. And right in front and in full defiance of [[CompleteMonster Umbridge]], no less. And in the end, Harry does indeed become an Auror.
-->'''[=McGonagall=]:''' Potter, I will assist you
to cheer up a younger student become an Auror if it's the last thing I do!
* ''Order of the Phoenix'' is full of little ones of these. Like,
after Percy sends Ron a letter telling him to stop being Harry's friend because Harry's a nutcase and it might ruin Ron's future job opportunities, Ron tears up the letter in fury, apparently humiliated to be related to someone like Percy. Also, when Harry unfairly accuses Hermione of debating his sanity with Lavender, she calmly tells him that actually, she told Lavender to "keep her fat mouth shut".
* Another little one comes in [[CompleteMonster Umbridge's]] first class, where she refers to them being taught by [[FantasticRacism "dangerous half-breeds,"]] to which Dean Thomas immediately snaps "If you mean Professor Lupin, he was the best we ever..."; the fact that Dean says it as opposed to, say, Harry, shows that the whole class, not just the Power Trio, were willing to stand up for Lupin despite the fact that he was a werewolf.
* And then there's Hermione kissing Ron on the cheek for the first time to encourage him for his first Quidditch match. It doesn't help much, but the description of Ron touching the spot she kissed him in amazement is extremely sweet.
*
The fat cow formally known as [[IronicEcho Gryffindor remix of]] "Weasley is Our King". For those who don't know:
-->''Weasley is our King,\\
Weasley is our King,\\
He didn't let the Quaffle in\\
Weasley is our King.\\\
Weasley can save anything,\\
He never leaves a single ring,\\
That's why Gryffindors all sing:\\
Weasley is our King.''
* Hagrid's whole relationship with Grawp. "HERMY! WHERE HAGGER?!" He remembered Hermione's name. To clarify, everyone, ''everyone'', from the centaurs to his three best friends, thinks Hagrid is insane for dragging Grawp back and keeping him in the forest, while Hagrid just insists that he ''has'' to because he's his brother. He gets beaten up, risks being fired, even has Hermione briefly siding with ''Umbridge'' against him, but in the end, not only is he vindicated when Grawp grows more gentle and docile, but it was his devotion to his brother despite all odds that meant that Voldemort wasn't the only one fielding giants in the final battle, which gave the defenders much more of a fighting chance than they would have had otherwise.
* A rather small one in ''Order of the Phoenix,'' when [[CompleteMonster Umbridge]] fires Professor Trelawny and gleefully tries to throw her out, Professor [=McGonagall=], who has previously made no secret of her disapproval of Trelawny's talents and teaching methods, defies
Umbridge to rush forward and comfort the despondent Trelawny.
* It's not specifically stated in ''The Order of the Phoenix'', but Dumbledore smiled and was probably very touched when he saw that the students' resistance group was called Dumbledore's Army. Gains extra resonance after the Book 7's revelations. Remember, in his youth, Albus Dumbledore was preparing to lead an army of wizards to do exactly what Fudge was accusing him of -- TakeOverTheWorld. Since then he's been deliberately avoiding power because he knows it will cause him to turn to TheDarkSide. Now here ''is'' an army of wizards, declaring their trust in his humility and wisdom.
* Two Mrs. Weasley moments in ''The Order of the Phoenix''. The first is her boggart transforming into a dead Harry, whose death she is deathly afraid of, as indicated by the boggart, despite him not being part of her immediate family. Then, there is the other scene:
-->"He's not your son, Molly."\\
"He's as good as!"
** Harry's reaction adds to this effect.
* More so is Sirius's. He just comes in the room and stares at the place where Harry's body was before Lupin vanished it. Molly's collapsed, sobbing all over Lupin, and Sirius is just staring at the place where Harry was.
