Hm, this was an interesting post! I was editing 'that' out from sentences without really realizing I was.
At the end of his first year, Harry said (that) he was happy with the friends he made.
Harry picked up the Potions book (that) Snape had assigned.
With the 'that's, the sentences feel more cluttered and clunky. Apparently I agree with Zinsser even though I never heard of him before! :P
