Thanks much, Lynda, that's very helpful.  

Let's see.  If it was just after Harry emerged from the Pensieve, 
having seen the Karkaroff testimony and realized that the man he'd 
seen in his dreams was Barty Crouch, Jr., then how would that have 
fit with the scene which didn't make it?  

I wonder what DD *did* think when Harry told him BCJ had been in his 
dream, along with Voldy & Wormtail?  DD should have believed, as the 
rest of the WW did, that BCJ was dead, but....  See? This is where 
tinkering with the storyline, to get Winky & the house elves out, and 
to shorten things, messed things up a bit.  They inserted BCJ into 
the scene Harry sees in his dream when he hadn't really been there in 
the book, so the audience would know BCJ was a DE and loyal Voldy 
follower.  (I guess otherwise it would have taken too much 
explanation to get the whole Mrs. Crouch pretended she was BCJ and it 
was SHE who was buried....) But it doesn't really FIT with what we 
readers know to be the real story.  

So, given the scenario they painted for themselves in the film, what 
WOULD DD have been thinking when Harry told him, after the pensieve, 
that he recognized BCJ as the man in his dream?  And would the scene 
Lynda described make sense after that?

On a totally unrelated matter, I was watching a "Making of" special 
on A&E last night and realized there was another scene we'd been 
given stills from and snippets of which didn't make it in: the trio 
in their jammies discussing something or other in the Gryffindor 
common room.  Wonder what that would have contained?
