No, it was definately in Frank Bryce's POV.  The whole device with 
Harry later dreaming it (and not evening knowing who the old man was) 
was just a convenient (and frankly, rather forced) conversion back to 
the standard Harry POV that we've seen previously.  I still think 
that doing this was a transitional stage: it now makes sense for the 
POV to have other shifts as the books go on.
