Reading this post had my curiosity juices flowing and so of course I 
went back to the movie eager to find something. While it could be a 
scene with an object or single person pivotal to a later event, I'm 
thinking symbolism. I'll start explaining without going into too 
much detail.

The scene I felt the movie could have done without yet still 
meaningful, was the one after the parselmouth discovery- everyone 
studying in silence while they are all glaring at Harry. The looks 
on their faces range from fear, disgust, hatred (due to fear), 
anxiety, and some a combination.  From book to book Harry has been 
under a microscope with the WW watching his every move while holding 
in at least one of those feelings I previously mentioned at one 
point or another. It also shows no matter how close Harry is to his 
friends/confidants, they will never truly understand what he's had 
to/will go through, and even they sometimes feel fearful/anxious 
(fear FOR him, not OF him) around Harry.

Though I could be wrong, I really believe this is it. I mean it's a 
theme that continues to pop up incessantly, and we as readers have 
been enthralled in since the beginning of the series and continue to 
dissect till this day.
