A bit atleast......Dumbledore says(in this chapter) that he was given inside information that Voldemort's rage was too much when Lucious says the dairy was destroyed by Harry.....Harry should have asked him who told him so(of course it was Snape)....but I think he was so full of other things that he didn't notice this....

Even if he had thought of it, I suspect Dumbledore's response would be something like "I have very good ideas sometimes, and sometimes, they are correct." He would put him off of the truth somehow.
I also thought that Harry should have noticed that he only ever thought of six horcruxes instead of seven...I was freaking out about that because it's the cup, the locket, the snake, the diary, the ring, and the diadem. And I was sitting there going, "WHAT IS THE SEVENTH?" I still don't know how Harry missed that. He never even thought about the seventh.
He must have thought the seventh was Voldemort himself, obviously. A part of his soul will reside in his own body. That was the way Voldemort intended it to be. 7 horcruxes including himself. He did not foresee Harry becoming a Horcrux as well, which brought the total to 8, not that powerful a number.
Dumbledore told Harry that their was no seventh Horcrux as the last bit of soul was the part in Voldemort himself...and he definitely wasn't told(nor Voldemort knew himself) that he was unintentionally made the seventh one....

Harry was unintentionally made into a seventh horcrux and I don't think either Voldemort nor Harry knew about that; therefore Harry would have only known to destroy six horcruxes and then kill Voldemort.
