I think this is too subtle if it is to be the important clue kept in
the movie. To me it looks like he just wonders about the book in
general. I always thought the clue was Hagrid walking around in
Knockturn alley. His excuse about slug repellent always seemed lame to
me. You wouldn't need to search in shops selling items for the Dark
Arts to get a common thing like that. But what he was doing there I
don't know - I don't believe Hagrid is bad. But maybe involved in some
plot or other, maybe used by somebody, somthing that might backfire. I
used to think it might have something to do with trying to get in
contact with the giants, assuming only dark withces and wizards were
in contact with them after they were driven from the country. But the
giant thing in OotP kind of blew that theory. So now I don't know. But
I still think that scene is the clue she talks about.
