True Harry doesn't have much internal self-confidence, but externally
he can be very stubborn and defiant. He feels weak but he doesn't like
to admit it. 

So, I could see Harry saying this to Lucius not because he believes
it, but because he understands that Lucius really means the exact
opposite of what he is saying, and Harry with his stubborn defiance is
not going  to let Lucius get away with trying to intimidate him. 


Let me add these thoughts on the subject of movie trailer-

Let's remember that frequently there are things in the movie trailers
that are NOT in the movie. Sometimes these are things that were left
on the cutting room floor but frequently they are short clips created
especailly for the trailer and were never intended to be in the movie.

Just want to make the point that you can't always trust what you see
in the trailer.
