Going back to DD knowing all

While researching my previous post, I did find something interesting 
in PS/SS:

"[Dumbledore] just said, 'Harry's gone after him, hasn't he?' and 
hurtled off to the third floor."

"D'you think he meant you to do it?" said Ron. "Sending you your 
father's cloak and everything?"

"Well, " Hermione exploded, "if he did -- I mean to say that's 
terrible -- you could have been killed."

"No, it isn't," said Harry thoughtfully. "He's a funny man, 
Dumbledore. I think he sort of wanted to give me a chance. I think he 
knows more or less everything that goes on here, you know. I reckon 
he had a pretty good idea we were going to try, and instead of 
stopping us, he just taught us enough to help. I don't think it was 
an accident he let me find out how the mirror worked. It's almost 
like he thought I had the right to face Voldemort if I could...."



Does anyone else find that to be a VERY interesting conversation in 
retrospect?
