Is this a good sign?

Yes, I would say its a very good sign! I don’t think AO would have contacted you for additional info if she/he had no intention of advocating your candidacy in the whole committee. Chances are AO is trying to substantiate his/her case for your admission. It used to be extremely rare that applicants get contacted by AOs, but in this admission cycle I have already seen two cases in my area where Harvard AO reached out to applicants with extra requests. Both were accepted REA. I know this because one of them was my DD. Best of luck!
