Dumbledore says that to Harry when he finds him sitting in front of
the Mirror of Erised.  Harry, in his hurry to see his family again,
has rushed along the halls under his invisibility cloak (not worrying
about making noise) and into the room.  

I took Dumbledore's comment to be a gentle hint to Harry that he was
so consumed by his desire that he was unaware of what was around him
in the room - including Dumbledore's presence.  That Harry's intense
concentration on the mirror fantasy effectively rendered Dumbledore
(and everyone else in the castle who is real) invisible to him.

Magda (thinking that much of Dumbledore's "barminess" lies in his
ability to state simple truths that others - wizards and muggles
alike - assume is obscure magic)
