From this passage in the Harry Potter series:
He bought Harry a hamburger and they sat down on plastic seats to eat
them. Harry kept looking around. Everything looked so strange, somehow.
"You all right, Harry? Yer very quiet," said Hagrid.
Harry wasn't sure he could explain. He'd just had the best birthday of
his life — and yet — he chewed his hamburger, trying to find the
words.
"Everyone thinks I'm special," he said at last.
Does "yet" mean "still" or "in spite what has been said"?

You are correct that it is "in spite of" but the implication is that in spite of his excellent day ("the best birthday of his life"), he hesitates and has to think before answering the question "[Are] You all right, Harry?"
