bboyminn:

Very interesting point. The actual connection isn't crystal 
clear but it is implied.

"The moment, he (Harry) knew, was seconds away."

"Voldemort's chest rose and fell rapidly, and Harry could
/feel/ the curs coming, feel it building inside the wand 
pointed at his face."

I assumed that the connection was still working and that
part of Harry's plan was to make Voldemort lose control
to the extent that he telegraphed his final move.

Though perhaps without the Soul-Fragment in Harry, a
degree of connection between them was maintained by Harry's 
blood. That seems a bit of grasping at straws.

Or, if we are to believe the last quote above, maybe Harry, 
as Master of the Elder Wand, was drawing a sense of Voldemort's
intent from the wand. Though that shoots down my theory in
spades. 

Still though, Harry clearly seems to have an intuitive sense
of Voldemort's intent, whether it is pure intuition, the
blood connection, some residual remnant of the soul piece, or
blind dumb luck, something seems to be there.

Again...very interesting point.
