bboyminn:
 
I agree 100% with Scott, but I think there is one more
aspect. Harry was the center of everyone's attention
even though he didn't look like Harry. When ever Fred
or George, Ron or Hermione finished a task, they all
then gathered around and consulted with this red-headed
kid called Barny. 

Echoing what Scott said, Luna is not one to 'believe
her eyes'. She saw the center of attention, and 
regardless of what it physically looked like, she knew
that must be Harry. 

I think she knew this on an instinctive intuitive 
level, she didn't logic it out. She simply saw
Harry and assumed it was him.
