Retrospective Harry?

While going through PS/SS the other day, I noticed something that
hadn't caught my eye in the many, many readings I've done of the
first book. Chapter 16 (Through the Trapdoor) starts with "In years
to come, Harry would never quite remember how he had managed to get
through his exams when he half expected Voldemort to come bursting
through the door at any moment."
I can recall Harry being many things throughout the series - but not
retrospective. For one thing, he's too young for much of that. Very
few teens are retrospective. Is this line an indication that Harry
will live for quite some time? That is to say, he won't die or
sacrifice himself within the first 7 books - or am I reading too much
into this sentence?
Any thoughts?
