That would be a pausible scenario IF the kiss happened at the same time that 
Molly was hugging him in a motherly fashion, or Bill was slapping his back, 
Or Fawkes was nestling on his leg or Sirius was lending support ect.  It 
didn't. It happened within the last 10 lines of the book. Right after Ron 
clapped him on the back (and presumably walked away . .I say presumably 
because although we don't see it happen, walking away after saying good bye 
is the usual course of action). After all his mother was already at the 
barrier had said goodbye.  So it really is apples and oranges

And as Greicy pointed out, the beginning of the last chapter seems to start 
with Harry "remembering" the events afterwards.
