You asked about what precisely Sirius said to Remus and Harry:  he
told Remus that he lived  in his heart, not here in this flesh (I'm
paraphrasing, but he did say "not in this flesh").  Then he got Dumbledore's 
line saying to Harry at the end:  "Those who love us never really leave us", 
referring to James and Lily, though I imagine  Sirius was given that line in 
light of the publication of book 5, in deliberate foreshadowing of Sirius' own 
death.  Butperhaps this gave JKR a start, because of some other reason?  

I was interested in the fact that first Snape tried to protect Harry
from the werewolf, and failed, then Sirius as his dog form went after the
werewolf, and failed (which he did not in the book; he drove the werewolf 
away). In the movie, that left Harry standing in front of the werewolf in 
imminent danger.  I wonder if Harry isn't going to have to face Lupin as a 
werewolf?

But the movie's images are so evocative, it's hard to decide what JKR
was talking about (and I'm sure she knew it):   Harry in front of the
clocktower,  Harry in a mirror's reflection, through the glass of a window; all
the shots of that giant clock which of course could mean the time turner, but 
also could mean Harry is living on borrowed time.  The scene with Hagrid 
where Harry is isolated off to the background, in black, while Hermione and 
Ron are on the other side looking normal:  that is one creepy shot. 

Was it just me, or did Sirius have a certain Latin warmth in the
movie that he lacked in the books?
