Geoff:

You left off the end of my message which was crucial to my thinking...

"It gives the feel of looking back and reminiscing well after the
event."

I doubt whether Harry really had time to look back reflectively in the 
Hogwarts years and think like this.

The whole feel of the sentence to me indicates looking back fom a 
situation beyond the events and perhaps smiling to himself at the 
recollection.
