On one hand, it's not the kind of detail JKR would throw in without 
it having some much greater meaning later in the series.  But at the 
same time, it seems unlikely that Harry could be a metamorphmagus 
without knowing it.  And just the regrowth of his hair doesn't seem 
like enough evidence to support the theory, compared with Tonks's 
ability to change herself into an old woman and such.

But if Harry isn't a metamorphmagus, then its importance must lie 
elsewhere.  Perhaps Tonks will have a much larger role in books 6 and 
7.  Or perhaps another character whom we never suspected (Hermione?  
Luna?  Goyle?  Who knows!) will turn out to have this amazing ability.

And just for the record, "metamorphmagi" is the plural, 
with "metamorphmagus" as singular.  Kind of like cactus/cacti.
