That line was in the book as well as the movie.  I had always thought 
that it foreshadowed the climactic chamber scene you mentioned above 
rather than anything that would happen in future books/movies.  In 
the book, Harry actually silently pleads for help. In answer, 
Gryffindor's sword appears for him.

CultivatePeace2000:
That line made me think too. Here again, I thought this quote 
probably was foreshadowing the climax of the film.  Maybe I am taking 
things too literally, but I saw "the darkest time" being the 
dementors' attacks, and "turn on the light" in reference to Harry 
having the resolve to conjure his patronus. 

The statement is such a general saying,though, that it could refer to 
the answer in many "dark" moments--so you may have a point thinking 
that it would foreshadow other future moments.
