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")
