Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (novel)/Tear Jerker

Harry mentions that it's Voldemort and his followers' fault for destroying these families. And that's when it hit this troper what the Death Eaters HAD done: mentally shattered Neville's parents, implied to have hurt a member of the Abotts, killed Moaning Murtle, ruined the Crouch family, killed most of the Tonks family, forced the Malfoy family to be separated, and killed Harry's parents, godparent, and James's friends. Even Wormtail counts. And this list isn't even over yet.
Harry thinking about his parents never hugging him like that when Molly hugged him.
- Not to mention that all the while, Harry was fighting back tears over Cedric's death.

Harry: I told him to take the cup with me.

- Cedric's father, who acted like a pompous Jerkass towards Harry, won't take the Triwizard winnings and also lets him know that he doesn't blame him for Cedric's death.
When dead Cedric asks Harry to take his body back to his parents.
In Goblet of Fire: "And now another head was emerging from the tip of Voldemort's wand... and Harry knew when he saw it who it would be... knew, because the woman was the one he'd thought of more than any other tonight..." This is really one of the only times Harry ever gets to meet or speak to his parents.
Barty Crouch Jr.'s story. His past is still depressing. He was the "Well Done, Son" Guy, with a father who loved work a great deal more than his own son. He did whatever he could to impress his father, who never let Barty know that he was impressed at his top grades in the OWLs and the NEWTs. The only family member who loved him died to give him freedom, which he never obtained because he spent the next thirteen years under the control of his father via Mind Rape, which drove him mad. He sided with Voldemort because he was more like a father than his own to him.
