Severus here:
     I think it may have something to do with hands, or rather 
Harry's hands.  Harry seems to constantly be touching hands in the 
movie CoS, first the withered hand in the shop down Nocturn alley, 
then the guy's hand that was hit with Nick, and then Hermione's hand 
in the hospital. And don't forget Ginny's hand in the Chamber of 
Secrets.  It just seemed kind of strange that he had a slight 
fixation on hands during that movie, and it is mentioned in the 
book, but it is Draco that brings attention to the hand in the shop, 
and Harry does find the note in Hermione's hand while in the 
hospital. That's an ugly sentence, sorry.  Also in SS, Harry used 
his hands to kill Quirrel at the end.  What do you think?  Totally 
off?  Wouldn't be the first time.
