This is a re-post, I highlighted my new comments as I realized they look
like Carols comments on original reply.

Snapes role in the prophecy and his relationship with Lilly with simply
vanish, it will come down to the one memory of DD telling Snape that Harry
must die by Voldy's hand in the end and it will be played off as nothing
more than Snape relaying DD last order.

Carol:
Good God, no! If it weren't for Snape's love of Lily, Harry wouldn't even
*be* the Prophecy Boy. LV's promise to Snape to spare her gave Lily the
choice to live that made her sacrifice possible (gave it magical power, I
mean). 



>>>>>>>>>>>>That's not the way they played the prophecy in the film, there's
no mention
it was ever Harry or Neville, so in the film it's not an issue. In the films
it's Harry from the start and that's it, so they can ignore all the Snape /
Lilley stuff. It won't be there.

Carol:
I agree that Dobby should have brought the gillyweed in GoF. It was
completely out of character to have Neville steal it (as he must have done
since Snape indicates that its missing, along with the Polyjuice
ingredients). I suppose that they can work their way around that, maybe
having the characters wish that they had Dobby rather than Kreacher at 12
GP. I'm more concerned about their not having Sirius mention his DE brother
in the tapestry scene in OoP. That was a "sirius" oversight, especially
given RAB at the end of HBP. (*DH* was almost ready to come out when OoP
appeared in theaters. The writer and director *must* have known that he
would be important; how could they not guess that he was Regulus?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Bartey Crouch Jr. stole the gilleyweed and gave it to Neville,
he was steal
the ingrediants for Polyjuice potion the entire time and DD says "now we
know who's been stealing from your stores, Severus" and Snape flashes Harry
a look, burning mad to have DD confirm Harry had not stolen from him.

>>>>>>>>>>>>.They will have them hide out at 12GP in DH, Hermione will go
into the room,
look at the tree "R A B!!!! HARRY, RON COME QUICK!!! I know who RAB is!!!"
they will likely then find the locket in RAB's room or something stupid like
that, thus negating a search for it and shortening the films.

md:
> Don't need to mention Fleur and Bill in HBP, the wedding will happen in DH
as both Bill and Fleur are in the film and there's no reason to include
Fleur without the wedding. 

Carol:
Still, they should have had Bill attacked by Fenrir Greyback, if not in the
fight with the Order that they inexplicably cut (it would *not* have
duplicated what happens in DH, which is on a much larger scale), then in the
added attack on the Burrow, which *does* duplicate what happens in DH but
would be somewhat justified if it included that attack. (Bill seems to be
lightly scarred in the Shell Cottage scenes, but nothing like what I
pictured from HBP, the book.) 

>>>>>>>>>>>.Bill has scars in the scenes for the shell cottage, two really
deep gnashes
in his cheek and a bunch of little ones.
