What I find ironic, is that (what's in and not in the books aside) so many people (including me) complain about the part with Harry snapping back at Snape being left out of SS/PS, while at the same time the "Don't worry, I will be" is gasped at in horror.  I too, (though I needn't be reminded I haven't actually seen CoS) saw the line as containing the same "I am not going to be trampled over" attitude that Harry should've shown in the Snape scene in SS/PS, but was removed from the final film.  I like it.  There, I said it. :)

Sorry, they were all just as stupid as me, I suppose.  Still say I like it.  It's not a "devil may care" attitude as some have said, but a "I'm not a doormat, wipe your feet someplace else" attitude.  Considering the thick sarcasm dripping from Malfoy/Isaacs voice.
