Whoa - good question. I guess you could take that one wherever you wanted. I kind of think that I have to take it at face value and say no. However, that is not to say that their interactions had not been getting increasingly more intimate up until 9.1. After all, he was confident enough in his and her feelings to ask her to marry him, despite the fact that his timing (and IMO in-the-moment reason) sucked.

Maybe his immediate assumption that her call was more personal is a bit of wishful thinking from Harry? Or maybe he was just sensing the subconscious motive that you suggested?
