I would expect some semblance of the Valentine's Day stuff to make an 
appearance, if only because it's so memorable from the book, apart 
from which, it's an clear indication of Ginny's feelings for Harry 
(even if there is incessant speculation in HP fandom about whether or 
not she sent it, but that's a different matter!). 

However, considering young Master Radcliffe's eyes are clearly not 
green and his hair is clearly not pitch black, if they *do* include a 
singing Valentine, they'll have to change the words completely. All 
indications to date are that his eye and hair colour haven't been 
modified...

Many elements of CoS make it my least favourite of the books, but the 
main thing I'm not so much anxious to see, as much as witness in a 
cinema with people who've not read the book, is watching the reaction 
to the penny dropping when Tom does his bit with the anagram of his 
name. My sister, her hubby and their two sons (6 and 3) are all fans 
of the first movie although none of them has read beyond the first 
book. (They've decided as a family that they're going to see each of 
the movies as they come out, and *then* read the relevant book!)

The 3 year-old was fine watching the first movie but was a bit 
freaked by Voldy's appearance. He wants to see the second movie in 
the cinema but has needed reassurance that Voldemort doesn't make an 
appearance. I haven't quite known how to put it to my sister without 
spoiling the game for her, yet without lying. :-) 

Incidentally, the six year-old was fine with absolutely everything in 
the first movie except for Filtch, who spooked him quite severely 
(though strangely NOT Mrs Norris's red eyes!). I've already told him 
to be prepared for much more of him...
