I've always had a soft spot for Davos, too. He's faced with so many small opportunities to be selfish, to do the wrong thing, and few would blame him, yet he continues to persevere and sacrifice his own desires for a greater good. And he rarely stands to gain, and in fact loses so much, but still doesn't cave in. It's a quiet courage, and beautiful, because he really thinks he's no better than anyone else. He doesn't believe he is doing anything exceptional, or brave, or remarkable.
I almost cheered out loud when Stannis rewards him for it, when others are calling for his death. And I desperately hope he survives whatever fate is in store for Stannis, and that he isn't murdered for his faith and honesty by a lesser man (or any man/woman, for that matter), or exiled, or loses what is left of his family. Sadly, that's what fate and GRRM seem to have in store for honest, unswervable people.
