I always thought that the Silver Doe seemed familiar to Harry because 
he saw his mother's Patronus when he was a baby and remembered it on a 
subconscious level. However, you may be right and Harry remembered this 
dream (BTW, you meant PoA, not CoS, right? I didn't check, 
but "Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw" is from PoA iirc :-).

The scene is indeed very similar to the one in "The Silver Doe", except 
that the Silver Doe moved soundlessly, there was no sound of the hooves 
(because "she was nothing but light"), but in the dream Harry 
heard "galloping". 

I remember when I read this passage for the first time, I thought it 
was a unicorn in Harry's dream, but couldn't guess why he would have a 
dream about one. It would make more sense in PS/SS, where unicorns were 
part of the plot.
