Well, I actually think Cuaron took a lot of missteps in this
movie, all related to characterization, so this scene is
just one of many that make this movie one I have no desire to
re-watch (after seeing it twice in the theater, hoping I'd
like it better on the second run).

He made a beautiful movie, but I didn't recognize the three
main characters much at all.

I'm not sure about the crying scene in particular.
Maybe another nod to one of Cuaron's other movies?
Maybe he thought this was the easiest (or most dramatic) way
to explain the Pettigrew back story without going into much
detail?
Or maybe he thought Harry needed to be more emotional?
