I also thought it interesting that one review I read of the   movie 
said something about how we get hints regarding how powerful a wizard Harry 
really is or will become, something that wasn't apparent in previous films. I 
wondered about that reviewer since I don't think JKR has really hinted at any 
difference in Harry's actual power - after all, his uniqueness is because he 
'survived' a direct killing curse, not because he exhibited any super power 
;-)

I seem to   be rambling again ;-)

In PoA, both book and film, it's stated that "only a very powerful wizard 
could cast such a Patronus" -- in the book, he drove off over a hundred 
dementors, as I recall.  So JKR herself has already stated, in writing, that Harry is 
an unusually powerful wizard of ANY age.  Lupin also told Harry that many 
mature wizards were unable to cast a corporeal Patronus (and that's stated or 
implied during his trial in front of the Wizangamot in OoP and during his O.W.L. 
exams, as well), so Harry being able to do so since the age of 13 is highly 
significant, or so JKR tells us by repeating and reinforcing it so many times.
