Yeah, there was something about how Snape had been played in the movies that did not make the big reveal as powerful in the movie. And I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that the teachers were treated in the same way all the students who were not Harry, Herminone, and Ron were treated. They were there and kind of fleshed out but never as developed as they were in the books.
Neville is in many ways the best example. We learn about Nevilles parents earlier in the books and see him really grow in the books. There is growth in the character in the movie but you still have difficulty believing that he becomes the leader of the rebel movement at Hogwarts. In the books it makes total sense but in the movie it falls a bit flat.
The secondary characters just did not have the time to be fleshed out in the movies and so some of the bigger reveals fall a bit flat. Snape is the other biggie.
