Magpie:
But wouldn't Dumbledore have to have then told Harry that in HBP when he's 
telling him about Horcruxes?  He specifically tells Harry he knows about the 
ring and the diary, then there's the locket, and then there's something from 
the other founders maybe and perhaps Nagini. He goes through all the 
possibilities in his mind and never mentions thinking Harry was a Horcrux 
that's already been destroyed.

As much as I know Albus likes to withold information as long as possible, 
and this time probably wound up dying before he got to reveal many things 
(as the old man with the beard tends to do in these stories!) I don't think 
he'd pretend to consider other Horcruxes if his look of triumph was over the 
Harrycrux's destruction.
