Depends on how you define "relevance" I think. It's a sneaky way of
demonstrating the effect of Priori Incantatem for the reader, so that 
they'll recognize it in the graveyard scene.

I really don't think so. I'm not sure if Fudge knows about this, but by
this time he seems to be convinced that Harry is completely bonkers
anyway, so I don't think it'll make any difference whatsoever if he 
finds out about it.
