Earlier in the movie, Harry learns in one of his imaginations/day dreams that his godfather (and only living family member) is in danger. The only way for him to make sure that his godfather, Sirius, is ok, is to go through the Floo network (the fireplace where witches and wizards can go from one place to another). Harry goes to Prof. Umbridge (the pink lady) office and sticks his head in her fireplace to look for his godfather. However, he is caught in the act.

Now Sirius, the godfather, and Snape, the evil-black-clothed man, are both part of an organization called the Order of the Pheonix, which is an organized group of witches and wizards fighting against the Dark Lord, Voldemort.

When Harry Potter is in the chair, anxious about helping his godfather who he knows now is in trouble, he realizes he needs to find a way to pass the message on so that someone else can go and help Sirius. What Harry yells out to Snape is "Padfoot is in the place where the thing is..."

Padfoot is another name for Sirius, the godfather. Sirius is an animagus, meaning he can change into an animal form, which happens to be a large black dog (Padfoot). The room or place Harry was referring to was the Hall of Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic (the room filled with the globe looking prophecies). In his imagination/day dream, Harry saw Sirius being tortured by Voldemort in the Hall of Mysteries.

Snape knows Sirius is Padfoot, and by passing that message along, Snape was able to check in on Sirius for Harry. However, since it sounded like goobledygook, it meant nothing to Umbridge and Snape was able to pretend as if it was nothing.

Hope this helps.

you're my hero. thank you.

I am a LOTR geek, so I thoroughly appreciate your HP geekdom as I am now in the know.

Well, I made a good guess then, but I still did not catch how meaningful it was in the movie!

Yeah, they kinda mucked up the whole "Padfoot" thing in this flick by not including any references to him in the 3rd movie (aside from the names on the Marauder's Map which were never really explained). I'm all for making the movies into their own thing, cutting out bits of the book here and there, but if you're going to do that, at least make them cohesive w/ one another. They've left quite a few things out of movie 5 that are gonna come back to bite them on the ass come 6 and and, even more so, 7.

If you really want to know I can.... but really the heart of the book is not the end but the process up to the end. It all builds on itself.
