I'm not sure I agree with you. Oh certainly some things people can 
understand. Like it's enough to hear Ron saying that Ancient Ruins 
is at the same time as Divinations for people to understand why 
Hermione had the time-turner without an explanation. But I don't see 
why Cuaron expected people to realize that James as an animagus who 
transformed into a stag through the information they received in the 
movie. Same goes for the Sirius/Peter-betrayal of the Potters bit. 
Even if Cuaron didn't want to get into explaining Secret Keepers, 
could he at least leave in the fact that the Potter home was a 
location hidden from Voldemort and Peter divulged it? Because I 
don't see how that can be inferred from the movie either.
