The one thing I didn't understand about the Godric's Hollow scene was when Harry was battling Nagini they broke through the wall and landed in some type of brightly colored nursery. Was there a point to showing us this room?
That made me think, too. I've seen people speculating that that could be Harry's nursery, but it's weird that it would be so perfectly preserved and also with the lights on. right there and then, I thought they simply trespassed into an adjacent apartment - might need to watch it again to see whether Bathilda's was a single house or wall-to-wall with the neighboring buildings. I actually liked the "WTF?" that scene brought though - I had forgotten about the whole Nagini-as-Bathilda thing, so the shock factor was thoroughly effective for me. The children's room part only added to the nightmarish feeling of it all, imo.
I couldn't help but feel by the end of the dance it felt like closure to anything they might have. Hermione walking away afterward really had that feeling of "Oh, that was sweet and in another

It definitely felt out of place, like they fell into another movie entirely for a second. I am going to have to start looking at interviews and see if anyone has asked what was up with that moment. It might be neat if there were some easter eggs in that room that we can only see when it comes out in HD & Blu-Ray when you can freeze frame it

...I'm not even going to lie, I jumped on the Scabior/Hermione bandwagon like it's my job XD I was like "who the hell was Scabior?" when I read reactions online since I didn't remember him from the books, but when I actually saw the movie I understood the hype XD hahahaha. I'm hopeless.
But I think that's what is great about them being from Harry's perspective, he might be showing us readers the wrong idea of what happens between his friends. I actually think movie!Harry was more aware of Ron/Hermione then book!Harry.
You know, this probably sounds blasphemous, but I almost always liked Harry - and the Trio in general - better in the movies than in the books. I don't know why, but I felt more invested, while in the books I've mostly been all about the secondary characters.
The funny thing to me about Scabior is he seems to me like someone who would be in the Twilight books... XD
I definitely think that was the purposeful direction of the films starting with the third movie to focus on the trio for character development and emotional attachment while sacrificing the rest as bit parts since the ones that will care for those will be the book readers who can fill in the stories for those characters that they leave out.
I think Snape falls into this category as well where they took a lot of the complexity of the character away, taking away a lot of the animosity away and instead sprinkling it in more humorous moments.
