After this chapter, a lot of people are going to deduce that Harry was in fact the person who broke out Bellatrix. Including, probably Dumbledore.
Quirrell will likely be forced to show his hand when Dumbledore accuses him of having engineered the escape. Somehow, this turns into Quirrell leaving his post. End of story seems imminent :(
Harry doesn’t know that Dumbledore’s patronus recognizes Harry’s patronus. This is a trap EY has laid for Harry.
For no internal reasons, but for story reasons, Dumbledore will not figure out that Harry was in Axkaban until the next time both he and Harry have their patronuses up at the same time. It is set up to be a shocking reveal, maybe a cliffhanger.

No. Mind the Conservation of Detail.

Yes, Dumbledore’s icy glare at the end seems to imply that he figured it out.
Or just that he’s pissed with Harry for putting himself in Malfoy’s debt.
Or for painting a giant bulls-eye on himself.
The icy glare could really mean anything.
OR for doing a stupidly flashy solution when an easier one was available, which he will now berate harry about in the next chapter....
