Line 40:
*** Though his most egregious is most likely the off-the-cuff way he talks about {{spoiler|Sirius's}} death to Harry when they first met. Though oddly subverted as he never really realized he was being a Jerkass.
** When Hermione criticizes ''The Quibbler'' in front of Luna in very Jerkass way, then finds out Luna's the daughter of the Quibbler's Editor, though seeing as how the girl had been reading it when Hermione walked in, it was rather rude regardless.
** In ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Order of Thethe Phoenix (novel)|Order of the Phoenix]]'', Dudley has one when he is attacked by the dementor and is [[Word of God|shown the sort of person he really is]]. This causes Dudley to cease bullying Harry (he is never shown to pick on him again after this point in the books) and try to be a better person (leaving tea outside Harry's room, telling Harry he doesn't think he's a waste of space).
** Harry himself went through this in [[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Order of Thethe Phoenix (novel)|the fifth book.]] When his mental connection to Voldemort as well as Umbridge's actions at Hogwarts make him rude and short with Ron and Hermione, he realizes how moody he'd been. He tries to reel himself in, though he keeps being rather touchy throughout the book {{spoiler|until Sirius dies.}}
* The novel ''How To Rock Braces and Glasses'' by Meg Haston is basically a book-long one of these for protagonist Kacey Simon. She's the [[Alpha Bitch]] of her school, but she genuinely believes that her [[Brutal Honesty]] is helpful and beneficial to those she uses it on. After losing her popularity due to the sudden acquisition of braces and glasses, she realizes that her fellow students mostly consider her a colossal [[Jerkass]] and sets out to change this fact by being nicer.

* ''[[The Cinema Snob]]'' In his review for ''[[The Zookeeper]]'', Jerrid blasts Jake for not showing up, thus forcing Jerrid to watch the movie. In the recent{{when}} ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]]'' movie, Jake says the reason he didn't show up was because he had a huge family emergency. The audience also probably thought Jake was dipping out so it gets the audience with a Jerkass Realization, along with Jerrid's.
