I didn't notice any others yet... as I am still re-reading (again)... 
however, I did want to point out that this isn't the first time 
Dumbledore's watch has made an appearance.  The first time he 
mentions his watch is at the very beginning of SS when he and 
Professor McGonagall are waiting for Hagrid to arrive at #4 with baby 
Harry.  :)

(who actually has a limited edition watch like Dumbledore's with 12 
hands and planets where the numbers should be!)
