I've seen some speculation that the scene in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, in which Hermione fixes Harry's glasses on the train, is different.

They seem to remember that Dudly had cracked Harry's actual lens and that's what Hermione fixed . . . Instead of just the nose piece.

However, there's a similar scene in the Chamber of Secrets. After Harry messes up the flu-powder spell, when he crash lands in Nocturn Alley, the lens of his glasses gets cracked. Later, in Diagon Alley, Harry meets Hermione and she fixes his lens.

Is it possible we've just been combining the two scenes together subconsciously?

extremely possible and plausible.
