To me, the HP books will always be canon...BUT...having said that, I know that there are many people who came to HP via the movies and have never read the books, so, to them, I'd suppose that the movies would be theirs.
Then there are the fans, like my son, who read the books and also saw the movies and have incorporated the two. I've found some of his views on the story quite fascinating in the way he's melded the two. I don't always agree with him, but it makes for good conversation. The one thing we always agree on, however, is how much we love HP, so it never gets too contentious and as we're both of the opinion that Ron and Hermione never stood a chance of staying together, we have that in common.
He was very young when we started on the books as well, so much of his view of the book canon is through younger eyes than me. He's been thinking of re reading them now he's older and it will be interesting to see what he gets out of them when read through older eyes.
As to the possibility of Snape being Harry's father not being made clear in the movies, I never got that feeling - I thought it was quite clear in the movies that Lily and James were a truly devoted couple and that possibility never sprang to mind.
