The way the shots were set up also said a lot to me. Throughout the
film, we see Harry as seperate from Ron and Hermione. The best frame
in which to see this is when Hagrid is skipping rocks. There is a
close up of his head, taking up all the screen except the two upper
corners. R and Her. are in one, and Harry is in the other. There are
also other instances, in which R and Her. are dressed in colours,
and Harry walks beside them dressed all in black. We also see images
of Harry, dressed in black, standing behind an onimously ticking
clock. A ticking time bomb, perhaps? And, finally for now because
supper is ready, we see many instances of Harry examining his
reflection, and it appearing dark. He looks at his reflection in the
window of the train, and in the lake, and it looks very creepy.
Maybe Harry will be forced to examine his dark side more thoroughly.

I noticed the same things! The groupings, Harry's reflection, the 
creepy pendulum. Harry is often separated from his friends and cut-
off from living. Even when he can join his friends at Hogsmeade he 
can not be seen; he must wear a cloak, and be undercover.  Harry is 
always looking at life from the outside.  He observes people live, 
yet he does not really live.  He seems to be always reminded that he 
is the "other."  He has moments of unity with his friends but in the 
end JKR always makes us know that he is not like them.  Harry does 
not have intimate interactions with Hermione, at least not like Ron 
does. (The sexual tension in the movie is between Ron and Hermione, 
not Harry and Hermione.) 
But aside from the movie...
The only person that has experiences remotely in common with Harry is 
Ginny.  Why did JKR add this character?  Remember the scene where 
Sirius chases the Hogwarts train (in dog form)?  Well, Ginny also 
chases the train in SS/PS.  Sirius loved Harry but could not keep up 
with him, I wonder Ginny will be able to.
