Yes yes yes, and I love it too for all those reasons, and if it isn't 
in the movie I'm going to send Steven Kloves a Howler every day for 
a month.

This line doesn't stand out for me, but Harry's imitation of it later 
does.  As with the "dentists" line, it's a rare moment when it's H or 
H who makes the funny comment.  I really like Harry making a comment 
that Ron and Hermione laugh at, and it has a bit of pathos in it 
too, esp. coming on the heels of the comment about Rita having had to 
move beyond "what a tragic little hero I am."
