>From what I've read about the COS DVD interview with JKR and Kloves I'm not 
to worried about things important to the further plots being left out.

JKR said that she's told Kloves far more about future events than she's told 
anyone else. Kloves has also said that he is/was concerned about cutting 
things that might be important to the end of the series. (I've tried to get 
the exact quote from The Leaky Cauldron but the page won't open for me) 

On the whole I will trust that JKR has advised Kloves exactly what needs to 
be in POA to guarantee continuity through book 7/movie 7.  It might not be 
what we think is important or what we specifically want to see however we 
don't know what JKR has planned fiurther down the line.  

I do think that Snape being at the Sheirking Shack is important if for no 
reason other to show the mutual hatred he and Sirius have for one another.  
The Dementors being at the Quidditch game is less crucial because their 
effect on Harry is demonstrated during the train ride.  No one else has a 
reaction that drastic. A quick explaination from Dumbledore as to the 
possible causes (ie he has a more horrible things happen in his past than his 
classmates ect) and we can move on to his learning the Patronus.
