(#18) When Harry Said "Roonil Wazlib" Was His Nickname (Half-Blood Prince)

“'This is the copy of Advanced Potion-Making that you purchased from Flourish and Blotts?'

"'Yes,' said Harry firmly.

"'Then why," asked Snape, "does it have the name ‘Roonil Wazlib’ written inside the front cover?'

"Harry’s heart missed a beat. 'That’s my nickname,' he said.

"'Your nickname,' repeated Snape.

"'Yeah...that’s what my friends call me,' said Harry.

"'I understand what a nickname is,' said Snape.
(#13) Ginny Quips Back At Harry (Order Of The Phoenix)

"'I didn't want anyone to talk to me,' said Harry, who was feeling more and more nettled. 'Well, that was a bit stupid of you,' said Ginny angrily, 'seeing as you don't know anyone but me who's been possessed by You-Know-Who, and I can tell you how it feels.' Harry remained quite still as the impact of these words hit him. Then he wheeled around. 'I forgot,' he said. 'Lucky you,' said Ginny coolly.

"'I’m sorry,' Harry said, and he meant it."
(#6) Harry Protects Professor McGonagall (Deathly Hallows)

“'It’s not a case of what you’ll permit, Minerva McGonagall. You time’s over. It’s us what’s in charge here now, and you’ll back me up or you’ll pay the price.'

"And he spat in her face.

"Harry pulled the Cloak of himself, raised his wand, and said, 'You shouldn’t have done that.'

"As Amycus spun around, Harry shouted, 'Crucio!'

"The Death Eater was lifted of his feet. He writhed through the air like a drowning man, thrashing and howling in pain, and then, with a crunch and a shattering of glass, he smashed into the front of a bookcase and crumpled, insensible, to the floor.

“'I see what Bellatrix meant,' said Harry, the blood thundering through his brain, 'you need to really mean it'.
(#4) Professor McGonagall Offers Harry A Biscuit (Order Of The Phoenix)

“'Is it true you shouted at Professor Umbridge?'
"'Yes,' said Harry.
"'You called her a liar?'
"'Yes.'
"'You told her He Who Must Not Be Named is back?'
"'Yes.'
Professor McGonagall sat down behind her desk, watching Harry closely. Then she said, 'Have a biscuit, Potter.'"
(#5) Ron Snaps Back At Snape (Prisoner Of Azkaban)

"'That is the second time you have spoken out of turn, Miss Granger,' said Snape coolly. 'Five more points from Gryffindor for being an insufferable know-it-all.'

"Hermione went very red, put down her hand, and stared at the floor with her eyes full of tears. It was a mark of how much the class loathed Snape that they were all glaring at him, because every one of them had called Hermione a know-it-all at least once, and Ron, who told Hermione she was a know-it-all at least twice a week, said loudly, 'You asked us a question and she knows the answer! Why ask if you don’t want to be told?'"
(#7) Hermione Catches Rita Skeeter (Goblet Of Fire)

"'You're kidding,' said Ron. 'You haven't – she's not–'

"'Oh, yes she is,' said Hermione happily, brandishing the jar at them.

"Inside were a few twigs and leaves, and one large, fat beetle.

"'That's never – you're kidding –' Ron whispered, lifting the jar to his eyes.

"'No, I'm not,' said Hermione, beaming. 'I caught her on the window-sill in the hospital wing. Look very closely, and you'll notice the markings around her antennae are exactly like those foul glasses she wears.'"
