Hi!
I think the quest itself allowed Harry to grow up in many aspects and allowed him to understand many many things. Besides, you have to remember that real quest was for Horcruxes, not for Hallows.
The experiences he lived allowed him to accept dead because he embraced what he though his destiny was: to die for a greater good. You may say that, if you don't fear something, then you master it, ergo: that would have made Harry the master of death.
It is true that Harry never had the three Hallows physically at the same time, but when he faces Voldemort, all three of the Hallows were HIS, actually! He had the stone and the cloak. He didn't have the wand, but -without knowing it- he already was his master. So... in a way, he WAS the master of the Hallows. right?

Lily's blood is a permanent protection, no doubt. But he didn't die when Voldemort killed him because he (Harry) had two souls inside of him (his own and a piece of Voldemort's). Voldemort killed out his own piece when he struck Harry, giving chance to Harry's soul.

Wow... this is complicated! I hope to have been of help!

Goodluck!

Harry never had possession of all three at the same time. He had possession of the resurrection stone and the invisibility cloak when he went to face Voldemort in the forest and he dropped the stone when he announced his pressence. It ended up lost to him, probably forever. Then after he defeated Voldemort he again had just two of the hallows in his possession, the cloak and the Elder wand.

Dumbledore didn't really want Harry to go on the quest for the Hallows as he expected Hermione would slow him down. He wanted him to understand what they were and most likely expected Voldemort would eventually seek the Elder wand so he really wanted Harry to know about that one the most. He also undoubtedly guessed at the patronus like effect the resurrection stone would have for Harry should he use it to call on his parents and Sirius (it's unlikely he guessed Lupin would have been dead when Harry used the stone).
