I can easily imagine that Knockturn Alley would be more important and 
I will love playing around with the idea of those people having been 
on the receiving end of a kiss.  But you made me think, what if this 
big clue is something Harry saw while in that shop?  Maybe that hand 
thing--I don't have my book with me.  It was featured prominantly in 
the movie.  I don't think JKR would let anything vital to a futre 
plot be cut from one of the movies, so I think it is fairly safe to 
say that whatever the clue would also be in the movie.
