I would love it if this were true, but to me, the significant thing 
about the gleam is how quickly it faded. The impression I got from 
those lines was that Dumbledore knows that Voldemort has made 
himself vulnerable, thus the triumphant gleam, but that exploiting 
that vulnerablity would also be harmful to Harry, which is why the 
gleam fades.

Also, I think if Dumbledore knew that Harry had once been a horcrux, 
he would have mentioned it in HBP. There would have been no reason 
to keep it from Harry. Instead, he seems to genuinely believe that 
no horcrux was made that night. I really hope that Harry doesn't 
have to die to defeat Voldemort, but I'm no more comforted by "the 
gleam" than I am by the horcrux!Harry theory.
