Hickengruendler:

And to add to his, in PS he was put under some Body-Binding spell by 
Hermione, in Deathly Hallows he was put under a Body-Binding spell by 
Voldemort, but in the end managed to break free of it.

There's also a mirroring imagine, that the reason Snape saved in book 
1, was because of his connection to James (or so Dumbledore tells 
Harry), and in the end we learn, that the reason for Snape being on the 
good side in general are rather because of his connection with Lily.
Also the fact, that we learn in book 7, what Dumbledore would see in 
the Mirror of Erised, and that in fact his deepest desire was identical 
to Harry's. The centaurs (except Firenze) refuse to help in PS, but do 
help in DH in the end, if only maybe, becaus ethe Death Eaters insulted 
them. (Though the difference in the centaurs behaviour between DH and 
OotP is probably more powerful than between DH and PS.) In some ways 
Petunia's outburst could be paralleled with the Pensieve memory's, 
where we see her calling Lily a freak for probably the first time 
(chronologically, I mean), though that might really stretching it.
