Did anyone else think this line was funny from Harry Potter?

Prisoner of Azkaban. Early in the movie. The students are gathered around the table looking at the newspapers, specifically the articles about Sirius Black escaping. Then the only black kid at the table says "Black.........he could be anywhere".

I saw this movie with 2 friends. All 3 of us were chuckling to ourselves immediately after this line. No one else in the theater laughed. Keep in mind that there was not a shred of disrespect for anyone, we just thought it was humorous that they had the black kid say that line. Are we terrible people?
