I found this surprising, too. Sirius says it in OotP when he's telling Harry about the Order, and then Harry repeats it in several DA meetings and in his thoughts throughout the book. Still, I find that hard to believe that it's one of the most common sentences. I suppose the phrases that we'd expect to find in the list are parts of longer sentences or slightly varied each time (?)....

I also find it hilarious that "Harry blinked" made it onto this list, but it kinda makes sense
