No, I think the stage is being set for Harry to grow into adulthood
when he stops taking things on trust and thinks for himself.  How old
were we when we realized our parents were old?  Harry is reaching
this point with Dumbledore.

Without stepping on Professor Trelawny's toes and claiming the art of
divination, I do think that at some point in the rest of the books
Harry will refuse to trust in Snape and the result will be calamitous
for their mutual cause and that he will have to adjust his attitude
and try again.  The theme of second chances is strong and will
continue, I believe.
