Cuaron, himself, has implied that these scenes are indeed rife with
sexual subtext...And not, just to be "dirty" but to serve the film's
main theme of Harry becoming a teen...What do barely teenaged boy
wizards do?? Play with their wands. :-)
He also admitted to putting the homage to Y Tu Mama (Which Daniel
Radcliffe has seen!), in the movie as well...
As for the girl by the fountain? That's Angelina Johnson with a
snazzy new hairstyle. Cho wasn't even cast for this film, but she
will be in Goblet.
Hope that helps. :-)
