Not just a nice touch. In PS/SS, Chapter 9:

"Their teacher, Madam Hooch, arrived. She had short, gray hair, and yellow 
eyes like a hawk." (US Edition, pg 146)

So it was merely the movie people actually paying attention to really small 
details for a change!

Susanna mentioned Gred and Forge and how they don't come across as 
pranksters; funny, yes, but not pranking. I quite agree, though didn't 
realize it before now. We see them about twice: once at King's Cross and 
once in the halls of Hogwarts. In both scenes, they don't particularly come 
across as people who would send toilet seats to friends and family. *grin*  
In fact, couldn't they have added that bit to the end in the infirmary 
scene? Instead of Dumbledore commenting on Ron already opening Harry's 
chocolate frogs (which isn't the book anyways), why couldn't he have instead 
commented on Gred and Forge sending the toilet seat (which IS in the books). 
Although, I suppose, they wouldn't want kids to actually try that in real 
life...

Establishing them as jokesters, people who bend the rules, is important for 
POA at least, when Harry receives the Marauder's Map from them. If they do 
the third movie, what, is Harry going to receive the Map from Dumbledore? 
It's going to seem strange coming from them unless they do some major 
characterization in COS.

*sighs* It's too darned bad they couldn't have made a four hour movie so 
they could've put in all the little touches and scenes that truly make the 
book...and Percy should've had glasses, darnit! *grouses a bit before 
lapsing into silence*

You wanna hear about my new obsession?

...pour some misery down on me..."
