I hate to try and answer this question when I don't have the book 
with me, but I'm 98% certain that Harry is right-handed, based on 
his experience with buying his first wand at Ollivander's.

But why then would he be holding the wand in his left hand? 
perhaps it is a mirror image? Might we be seeing the Mirror of 
Erised again? Has he broken his wand arm? I guess we'll know 
in about 92 days...
