    Are you sure? Didn’t he suspect since basically the night of the scar incident that Voldemort left a remnant of some kind on Harry?

    The Slughorn memory of the horcrux in the half blood prince is not a revelation, just a confirmation. He got the ring before that. It’s not quite clear when exactly Dumbledore learned about Voldemort making horcruxes, but it was definitely long before we as readers learn about it.

    There is no real evidence to your claim that he doesn’t know at year 2 already, he might already be in the mode of “knows but hopes there is still time to let him be a child”.

      Isn’t it after Harry describes how Young Voldemort emerged from the diary in the Chamber of Secrets?

      Iirc it was when Voldemort was unable to kill Harry at the end of the 4th year that Dumbledore realized that there was probably a horcrux inside Harry?
