Padma Patil as Gryffindor?

OK, I just noticed this in the movie for a second or two, but
perhaps my eyes deceived me. In Lupin's class, when the kids are
about to go against the boggart for the first time, near the front
of the group are 2 Middle Eastern girls, one of whom is definitely
Parvati, as she faces the boggart a few minutes later, and the other
who looks similar, if not identical, to her, excepting the fact that
the second one has a few pieces of hair pulled back in a barrette
and Parvati has hers in a ponytail.
The reason I did a double-take is not due to the fact that the books
never have Ravenclaw/ Gryffindor classes together: I know the books
are not the movies... but because Padma is wearing
Gryffindor "accessories" (crest, tie, etc.) on her school uniform,
just like Parvati. At first I thought maybe the wardrobe people
wanted to further instate the fact that the 3 houses besides
Slytherin tend to get along (all non-Slytherins were in one bunch,
close to Lupin; all Slytherins in their own bunch, off to the other
side) but behind the twins and Gryffindors are quite a few kids
wearing blue accessories (Ravenclaw colors).
Did anyone else notice this? Is it a movie Flint or something
more? I think the Patils are going to play further into Books 6 and
7 besides just going to the Yule Ball and joining the DA in Books 4
and 5 respectively, or at least possibly they switch places from
time to time? I also noticed, tying into Cuaron's intrique with
reflections, that the Patils, for their Hogsmeade visit, are dressed
identically, something I don't think 13-year-old girls would do in
RL. Also the Weasleys when they are building the snowman are at
least wearing matching hats; I don't remember about the actual
clothes. I don't have too many actual theories on these issues, but
thought they might be significant nonetheless and thought someone
else might.
