Quick_Silver:
I'm sorry that your surprise was ruined but I think that JKR is 
trying to show something of Harry's growing maturity. Up until HBP 
Harry has been very reactionary, allowing events to happen to him 
rather, then taking the initiative. However during HBP we see him 
follow Draco (over a large part of the year) for the purposes of 
finding out what Draco is up to and he nearly succeeds. So, IMO, the 
fact that he tells of what he's going to do is important because it 
shows that Harry is finally beginning to realize that he needs to 
have a long term plan rather then just deal with events as they 
happen.
