Now me:

Just to clarify my original post - the lines you've referenced above 
are in both my newer UK version and in my US paperback edition - they 
just precede the part I originally quoted about Dobby polishing 
Lucius' shoes which was left out of the UK version.

Eloise's post solves most of the mystery, in that it looks like most 
of these changes were made between the UK hardback edition and the UK 
paperback edition (which explains why they're not on the Lexicon 
differences page, as that page was probably referencing the hardback 
edition).
