* Cho Chang's friendship with Marietta Edgecombe comes across as this in retrospect. Marietta was the only member of Cho's GirlPosse who stayed with her while she was dealing with the trauma of [[spoiler: Cedric's death]]. Although Cho shouldn't have made Marietta join Dumbledore's Army as Marietta was worried it would affect her mother's job in the Ministry, Cho still stood by her after [[spoiler: Marietta told Umbridge, and ended up receiving Hermione's "Sneak" jinx on her face]]. The last time Cho spoke to Harry, she tried defending Marietta's actions and got pissed off when Harry thought [[spoiler: Hermione's jinx, which ended up scarring Marietta for life, was entirely justified]], that ended their romantic relationship. Cho was given a choice between the boy she liked and the girl who stood by her side while she was overwhelmed with grief, and she chose the latter.

* ''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".

** This troper thinks this is rather a TearJerker, since Sirius evidently only sees Harry as an extension of James, and is not able to see him as his own person. Moreover this is one of the last things he says to Harry. Harry not only loses Sirius, but also has to deal with the fact that Sirius didn't love him for who ''he'' was.

** The reason it's necessary to specify that Dumbledore only takes "partial" responsibility is not remotely that he blames Sirius, or that he agrees Sirius' death is even slightly Harry's fault. He explicitly says that claiming any more than partial responsibility would ''be disrespectful to Sirius' memory.'' Sirius Black was brave, loyal, intelligent, and loved his godson; he knew the risks, and made the conscious decision to face the danger anyway and spring the trap on purpose because it was worth it to protect Harry and his friends. Dumbledore genuinely feels that saying ''he'' was the only reason Sirius ended up in the Ministry that night would be arrogant; the same as [[DueToTheDead saying Sirius' noblest qualities didn't matter.]]

* During the Dumbledore's Army scenes where Neville starts with absolutely no confidence whatsoever, who flings his wand from his hand doing even the simplest defensive spell, but never gives up. When he does eventually pull it off, the entire class gathers around him to congratulate him. Even the person he disarmed is thrilled to see him succeed. It doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Neville as well because he never gave up, not even against his own lack of self-esteem.

* 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. You can totally imagine what he's thinking, how terrible and grief-stricken he would be if it happened. Also Sirius comforting Molly, who were at loggerheads in who loves Harry more, telling her that regardless of anything the Order are TrueCompanions and that if anything happened to her, they will look after her sons.

* For several months, Dumbledore has been ridiculed and humiliated by the Wizarding public and government. He's been stripped of his honors, had a Fudge spy taking more and more authority from him in his beloved school, and he's forced to restart and lead a resistance movement underground because his own government won't accept the threat. What is the one time we see him angry? When Umbridge starts manhandling one of his students. Said student caused a lot of trouble, but that doesn't matter to him. Whatever else Dumbledore's flaws, he will ''not'' allow anyone to hurt his pupils.
* At the end of the movie, Dumbledore patiently lets Harry break down in grief and rage, listens him out, and explains why he's done everything he's done. He even admits partial responsibility for Sirius' death.

* Harry's reaction to Ron becoming Prefect. He's initial shocked and disbelieving and has a bit of an internal debate while struggling with envy about it. The heartwarming part; he firmly rejects the idea he's better than anyone, not wanting to be as arrogant as Draco Malfoy and as soon as he finds himself resenting and wanting to laugh at Ron he's horrified with himself, firmly puts a stopper in it and resolves to be there and supportive of Ron.

No, Neville is keeping quiet ''because '''he's proud'''''.

** The heartwarming moment is doubled when Mcgonagall is shown as the first teacher to comfort a sobbing Trelawney. Although their relationship is quite rocky in the books, seeing as Mcgonagall has a no-nonsense approach towards teaching and Trelawney is, well, the [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} complete opposite of that]], it's nice to see that the minute Minerva sees someone mistreating her colleague (and former student to boot), she jumps to her defense at once. And when Umbridge sarcastically asks her if she has something to say, Mcgonagall angrily responds that she has ''several'' things to say, not even caring that one wrong word could give Umbridge some motive to kick her out as well.
