Y Tu Mama reference in PoA

I loved they way Curon has begun to bring teen sexuality into the
film, with the funny and obvious allusion in the beginning with Harry
hiding under his bed sheets in the middle of the night playing with
his wand, and the wonderfully satisfied grin on his face after he
finally was able to successfully produce 'Lumos maxima'. The sweet
Ron/Hermione hand holding moment. And the parallel between Ron and
Draco, both milking sympathy from Hermione and Pansy, by telling them
that their respective hand and leg might be in need chopping off.
But that aside I have a question about the delightful moment in the
film when HRH are standing on top of the hill about to watch Buckbeak
get the chop. Hermione buries her head in Ron's shoulder with her
arms around his neck, and Harry gently puts his arms around Hermione
and then the three of them hug in a very tender way.
Is this is a nod to Curon's film Y Tu Mama Tambien? I know that Y Tu
Mama is a story of seduction between two teen boys and older woman,
so it would fit, and Curon seems to be naughty enough to do something
like that. Who out there who has seen Y Tu Mama help with this one?
I'm renting the DVD this week, but I'm curious to see if anyone else
has noticed this.
