These are all friends of Harry, but they're not the Trio members so, ah well.
Luna Lovegood. Why? Because she's amazing. I've said before that I relate to her, but I don't think I can convey just as much. She's my favourite character not just in Harry Potter but in any fiction ever. She's quirky and fun, yes, but she's also very deep. Luna is intelligent, she's very open-minded and has a kind of childlike innocence and strange, Alice-in-Wonderland type qualities. People think she's strange but really she's just honest - her honesty is often baffling, piercing or awkward, but she's also kind and accepting.
Neville Longbottom. Because he has so much courage, and I think a lot of people forget that apart from him NEARLY becoming the Boy-Who-Lived instead of Harry, his story was even sadder, in a way. What happened to his parents was devastating but he was proud to be their son, and he knew they would be proud of him inside their hearts. Like his grandmother said, he's a true Longbottom. I know how difficult it must have been for Neville - always feeling less than his friends, people thinking he doesn't qualify to be a Gryffindor or even a wizard, but he proved them wrong in the end. And let's face it, he's pretty bamf.
Remus Lupin. Because despite all the negativity surrounding werewolves (although it wasn't a condition he could help or control, except with Wolfsbane), Lupin proved them wrong. He was calm, kind and understanding and the rare sort of teacher, the best sort which I never had and I'm sure a lot of people didn't but want to - the kind who listens, and always sees the best in people and can bring it out. Despite some of his flaws and worries, like with Tonks and the baby etc., he stayed true to himself and died a hero's death.
