You could argue that since the movie takes place mostly from Harry's perspective, this is how Harry saw it playing out. Since he's getting all emotional and ansy, he thought he was being accused of something when Dumbledore was actually just calm.

... I'm not saying I agree with it, I'm just stretching.

There doesn't need to be some cryptic explanation for it. Film and text are different things - the former has to cram hundreds of pages worth of plot and emotion into a 2.5-hour chunk, and doesn't have the luxury of spending a ton of time building up the tension. Having Dumby get pissed the hell off ensures that, no matter what needs to get cut later, we know Harry done fucked up. It's a cheaper way to do it, sure, but anyone who claims it "ruins" the story is just looking for reasons to hate the film.
