I don't specifically remember the shots in this scene, but film 
making simply doesn't work like this.  The director chooses close ups 
based on either dialogue or the framing of the shot dependent on the 
location.  In that cramped set, shot from above, it probably just 
made better aesthetic sense.

Well, why?  I think this scene shows the exact opposite.  In a 
situation where she is really upset, Hermione turns instinctively to 
Ron for comfort.  Anyway, a reference to Y Tu Mama Tambien actually 
backs up a Harry/Ron affair more than anything else - that film shows 
that the two guys really want to be with each other, not the woman - 
and I highly doubt that was the intention of this scene!

I suppose, but I don't think it's significant.  It's just the way 
they finish that action sequence.

Again, I see it the other way entirely.  It's not a big deal for them 
to hold hands, because they're only friends.  But when Hermione and 
Ron accidentally touch, it's awkward and charged with tension because 
there is attraction there.

Well.  That's an interpretation and I think you're stretching it here.

I'm not sure what you mean.

Foreshadowing of her, what, looking up at him again?

I don't think the clues are there at all.  But ironically, I don't 
actually care if it turns out in the books that Harry and Hermione do 
get together.  I will be very surprised but won't mind at all.  In 
fact, I think there's sometimes too much silliness talked about such 
young teenagers deciding on their future partners for life so early.  
It's as if people can't conceive of someone having more than one 
boyfriend/girlfriend in their life. There is no absolute need to pair 
everyone up and marry them off, but again, I'm sure I'll probably 
like whatever JK does with them as she has handled this sort of thing 
(Ginny's casual boyfriends, Harry and Cho fizzling out) well so far.
