colebiancardi here:

what I meant about that scene being important is that now the new
HeadMaster(or I guess it would be HeadMistress) would have access to
that information about Horcruxes.  Whatever DD told Harry in that
room, the portraits know about.

That is why I think DD and Snape argued out in the forest.  I don't
think they wanted the portraits to hear their conversation.

aren't so limited afterall)
