St Harry the Martyr getting detention with Umbridge, convinced that he was taking a firm stand against his evil teacher by doing precisely what she wanted.
I'm endlessly baffled by people who choose this as an example of Harry choosing what's right over what's easy (to paraphrase DD). I mean, sure, it might have been the right thing to do (although it certainly wasn't prudent), but as for it not being easy? Puh-leeze. What difficulties does Harry have of saying the first thing that pops into his mind? None, that's what. It's what he wants to do--it's practically his modus operandi. Now, if he'd manage for once to keep his temper in check...
