I think my favorite incidence of 'CapsLock' isn't for emphasis at all. I love the way Prachett uses it in the DiscWorld series for the voice of Death. I suppose it is emphasis, just not the kind we normally think. It instead emphasizes the 'voice', denoting the deep tones of Death's speech.
As for HP - the only appropriate use of it in the books seems to me to be when Harry keeps yelling at his friends in bk5. But only because it gets on my nerves and so makes me 'feel' for Ron and Hermione - just like being constantly screamed at by a friend.
