Not necessarily.  I know there are some nights where I have woken up,
remembered that I had been dreaming about something, gone back to sleep,
woken up the next morning, and maybe later that day remembered I had awoken
earlier in the night and that I had been dreaming, but remember nothing of
the dream itself.  I consider it very within the realm of possibility where
there are other nights where I have done the exact same thing but never
remembered dreaming at all the night before.  At most, I might remember
waking up in the middle of the night, but not that I was dreaming.  Granted,
on those instances where I do remember that I had been dreaming but have no
idea about what, I always get the impression they weren't bad dreams, and we
are more apt to remember a nightmare than just a basic dream.  I'm saying
that Harry could very well have done this, but the interesting thing is that
he was able to forget a nightmare that easily.
