The  Gryffindor boy is probably Dean Thomas!  I was reading on JKR's  
website that Dean is black.  Do you remember a skinny black boy in  the 
first two movies that doesn't say much?  He even sits with Seamus  in 
McGonagall's class.  I think they just replaced the actor with  this 
heavy-set boy for some reason.  I could be wrong, but it makes  the 
most sense to me.  Why you never see him in Harry's Dorm room is  
beyond me.

I can't wait until midnight  Friday!!!!!

No, he's not Dean!!  Dean has been in all three films so  far and is a 
"light" colored black boy who's quite handsome.  He's behind  Harry and Seamus when 
they walk into the Common Room the first time in PoA and  Dean winds up having 
a ghost walk through him and goes "UGH!"  He's also in  the "eating candy in 
the dorm" scene (but you wind up looking over his shoulder  -- he doesn't eat 
candy and show up in the scene) -- and that heavy set dark  black boy is not, 
so he's not a third year Gryffindor despite being in their  classes.  Remus 
calls on Dean in the Boggart scene.  Dean says "That's  a Boggart, that is" and 
Remus said, "Very good, Mr. Thomas."  The heavyset  black boy is never named.  
I have the feeling he either was related to  someone so a part was made up 
for him, or there was some other reason to stick  him in there -- he just 
doesn't fit, doesn't belong and annoys me no end by  taking lines Dean should have 
had!
