I just finished re-reading GoF (aloud to my BF, which brought more 
things into relief than if I had read it to myself) and I stopped 
after I read about the "gleam of triumph."

I think the fact that Voldemort used Harry's blood is going to be 
very significant--does it mean that if Harry was a Horcrux that he no 
longer is one (even though I am increasingly no longer thinking Harry 
is a Horcrux)?  It's possible--but it doesn't mean IMO that Voldemort 
did so unwittingly for there is no way that Voldemort doesn't know 
exactly how a Horcrux works.  If Harry is a Horcrus, then Voldemort 
took that piece of his soul back deliberately.

I read the gleam fading, in the new context of having read HBP, that 
DD's triumph faded because he knew how much hardship, suffering, and 
loss lay ahead in this new war in the wizarding world.
