heart rose

Harry's heart rose; if they were going to be working with Hagrid it wouldn't be so bad. His relief must have showed in his face, because Filch said, "I suppose you think you'll be enjoying yourself with that oaf? Well, think again, boy -- it's into the forest you're going and I'm much mistaken if you'll all come out in one piece."

1) What’s the meaning of ‘rose’?
2) Is ‘it’ a dummy-it or does ‘it’ indicate something?

1. His heart rose = He became excited/hopeful.
2. I suppose it's dummy. "It's...you're doing": the construction is Irish (or stage Irish...or Scottish? I'm just an AmE speaker, so I get these mixed up)
