I actually liked this.  I didn't take it as a humorous smile at all, gallows or
otherwise.  I thought it was extreme uneasiness, and reluctance to bring up
Harry's role in what is to come.  She's smiling, but at the same time almost
crying (which she'd been doing a lot of; a person can only cry so much, after
which other expressions of sorrow crop up).  She looks very much like she's
trying desperately to hold herself together in her last few moments with her
best friends before the summer holidays.  Harry's response implies that he
alone has somewhat come to terms with what's coming.  In the books, this really
didn't happen until the end of OotP.  His reaction is much like Hagrid's
"what's coming will come and we'll deal with it" line from the book.  Pity
Hagrid wasn't there to deliver it, but that's how this scene felt to me.
