I think it's hilarious anyway.  Harry is firmly in the latency 
period, isn't he, if instead of secretly loving the thought of a 
girl, any girl, accidentally sitting in his lap, he's terrified by 
it.  But it's okay, he'll grow out of it in a few months when he 
plays Ravenclaw.

I love the above scene and desperately hope they recreate the whole 
thing for the PA Celluloid-That-Must-Not-Be-Named.  But even if they 
don't, I will forever love gazing in my mind into a dark train 
compartment where Neville, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Harry, and 
Crookshanks all attempt to find seats . . .
