I think the first one was similar to that comment in Sorceror's Stone, sort of a joke. One of the other times was to take Harry down off his high horse and remind him that even though Harry is Dumbledore's partner in all this, he's still a 16-year-old kid. Maybe all of those comments in this book were designed that way; to keep a tiny bit of a lid on Harry.
