Red Wedding is up there for me, but Ned's death took a lot of the impact out of it for me. If the wedding had somehow managed to come first then it might have been different. Strangely enough, I think the most affecting scene I've read in a fantasy book was Death vs. the Auditors in The Hogfather (even when you consider the humor factor). Expanding genres a bit, I'd probably put both of the ASOIAF scenes below "I did it thirty-five minutes ago", Ender learning what he'd done, and several others.
I've been humming Rains of Castamere all day just to see who reacts and how. One person just about freaked out on me.
