[HPFGU-Movie] Padma Patil as Gryffindor?

 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...

FYI: The Weasley twins have always been dressed identically in all 3 movies. As 
to whether or not twins that age really do dress alike?..probably not. Not the 
ones I know, anyhow. I have six yr. old identical twins and flip flop back and 
forth on that issue. As babies I did dress them identically, then I didn't (so 
as not to damage their sense of individuality! :-) Now when I buy them 
different clothes, they fight over one. So I'm going to have to go back to 
getting all clothes, backpacks,toys, etc. identical. Such a lot of fretting 
over such frivolity, no?! :-)
But to get back to the question(!), I think it is Cuaron's reflection theme 
that is causing him to dress them alike. 
That being said, I missed in the books the fact that Padma and Pavarti were 
twins. I thought they were just sisters, close in age?
