Henry had said that he might be late.

I believe it is a direct quote, for you are quoting what he had already said, not what is being said.

No, a direct quote of this would be: Henry said, "I might be late."
Indirect quotes is what you have in your question. Indirect quotes are direct quotes that have been rephrased by the writer into his or her own words. They are a summary of what has been said and therefore do not need to be enclosed by quotation marks.

No. Henry said, "I might be late," is a direct quote.

You have paraphrased the statement , so it is not a direct quote.
The direct quote should be with quotation marks and the exact words of the speaker.
e.g.
Henry said: " I might be late".
