Yes, I absolutely agree with you. I was going to post this exact 
point myself, especially in terms of his sparing of Peter. 
Considering that someone (Dumbledore?) says that Harry sparing Peter 
was what his father would have wanted, do you think that James would 
have wanted Harry to kill Quirrell? It is also significant that 
Voldie just leaves Quirrell to die after all the sacrifices Q. makes 
for him. It shows a profound contrast between the value Harry puts 
on a life and the value Voldie does. It is also important in the 
continuing theme of loyalty to those one loves. The main reason for 
the shift seems simply to end with a spectacular special effect. 
Could we really not expect Hollywood to "Mummy"-ize Harry? 

Still, all in all I did enjoy the movie...
Cheers!
