I agree that Harr doesn't see himself as a hero, however, I loved the 
line.  I don't see it the same way you do, though.  When I heard 
Harry say that, to me it just was a culmination of his hatred for 
Lucius, Draco, and Voldemort all rolled into one.  I didn't see him 
as being cocky, but that's just my thought.
