That sounds right. Also, the hat observed that Harry is highly unlikely to consider it ethical to risk providing the hat with self awareness again, which is to say, he'd probably be reluctant to try it before exhausting other avenues first.
Harry has changed a lot though, and is potentially more brutally consequentialist.
I wonder if he could use some kind of mind magic to prevent himself from thinking about self awareness while wearing it?
