But that has implications for how he viewed their brief engagement in CotBP. I think deep down, he knew she was really in love with Will, and wasn't fully convinced even by their conversation in that deleted scene, but chose to ignore his own instincts in favor of believing in what he wanted to be true. He knows Elizabeth and he can read people well enough to see what's really going on.

Like, this guy doesn't miss a thing about someone. He knows Will made the sword all along, even though Will doesn't ever take or receive public credit for being the one who does the actual work. And I think that means Norrington also knew it was Will who really apprehended Jack Sparrow in the blacksmith shop. (Which makes it really funny and petty that he gave Mr. Brown all the credit.)

ALSO. When Jack told Elizabeth about Davy Jones and that Will was on the Flying Dutchman... Norrington was only overhearing that conversation because he was off to the side puking from being super drunk. Even in that state he's listening in and putting all the pieces together. (Or, at least holding onto them enough to figure it all out later when he's sober.) And now Elizabeth's the one determined to set her misgivings aside and trust Jack because she really needs to.
