Jen: So true!  Snape & Sirius throw a few barbs at each other in the POA movie, and we get the scene of James/Sirius bullying Snape in OOTP, but the fact that Snape is still totally enraged by his schoolboy days and takes that out on Harry is pretty much absent.  Movie!Snape has no trouble differentiating between James & Harry.  He's made a few comments about how the two are alike IIRC.  Sirius is the only one who comes off as deluded as to who Harry is.

Speaking of making the characters look better, I think Kloves or Yates expected DD might look good chatting Harry up about his life & girlfriends.  Ick!  I felt embarassed by those moments.  They seemed unlike even Movie!Dumbledore, let alone DD in the books.
