Harry Osborn's tragic downfall is one of the best elements of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, with the likeable hero (or villain, depending on his mood) coming to a poetic demise when he sacrifices himself to save Peter Parker, dying in the exact same manner as his father - impaled by a glider.

The younger Osborn foreshadowed his moment of bravery earlier in the film, during a scene where he's recuperating in a hospital bed.

After Peter and MJ have paid their friend a visit, the attending nurse tells Harry how lovely they are, to which he replies "my best friends... I'd give my life for them."

And wouldn't you know it, that's exactly what he ends up doing. Sure, Harry may have been a bit of a d*ck during his whole Green Goblin phase, but his final act proves that, deep down, he never stopped caring for the people closest to him.
