Best Answer

Situational Irony:

Harry didn't ask to be famous, yet he is. He would prefer just to go along about his business, but "someone" put his name into the goblet. This forces him back into the spotlight which is not where he wants to be, yet he cannot back out, making it look like he is flaunting his fame.

Thematic Irony:

Harry's blood is a necessary ingredient in bringing Voldemort back to corporal form. Yet Harry living through the rebounded Avada Kadavra curse is why Voldemort is incorporal. Ultimately, having Harry's blood in him turns out to be a bit of a pathogen for Voldemort in book 7, with Voldemort not able to bring down Harry when they were first leaving Privet Drive with the multiple polyjuiced Harrys.

Harry and his friends went through a lot of trouble to save the stone from whomever wanted to steal it, but as it turned out, the stone was safe in the Mirror of Erised all along.

Only someone who wanted the stone but not use it could get it.

Harry suspects Snape but is wrong, but later Snape kills Dumbledore, so Harry is right in a way
