Mcgonagal's approach to Harry in HBP

I've notice through my reads of HBP what a different McGonagal we find.  I 
must admit, I really liked the way she just accepted Harry as part of the 
discussion, not just in the hospital wing, but in her office.  She really 
seems to be accepting him as an adult, not merely as a student.  When they 
were discussing DD's being laid to rest at the school, we notice Harry 
saying to her, "Okay, assuming he's being laid to rest at Hogwarts, you 
shouldn't send the students home till they've had the chance to pay their 
respects" and, rather than retorting, "Potter, what I as headmistress decide 
is nothing to do with you - you are merely a student and I shall act as the 
Ministry and others see fit", she just goes ahead and asks for a mutual 
agreement and that seems to include Harry.  It's almost as if she's 
accepting him as part of her entourage.  I really hope we see a similar 
Mcgonagal in the final book.
