That was my impression too, sensing rather than seeing.  What struck 
me in that scene, since I already knew Dumbledore was going to be 
the one to die, was how vastly more experienced and knowledgeable 
Dumbledore was than Harry or ANYONE ELSE in the WW.  I remember 
thinking, "How can ANYONE fill those shoes?"  DD has no equal, 
there's no way Harry can defeat Voldemort by emulating him.  That 
being said, I can still see Harry having a moment in book 7 when he 
can suddenly "sense" magic also (like Neo in the Matrix -
 "something's different, I can feel them")
