I apologize for the delay, life gets in the way. I believe the end of the film implies that the Iron Giant does in fact remember his original purpose as a gun, since the bump in his head was repaired during his fit of rage. However, Hogarth has instilled the idea of "self" so deeply into the Giant that the Giant can choose not to follow his preprogrammed orders. The Giant is in a sense no longer a robot at all, but a person in the sense that he has free will and the ability to make his won decisions. The Giant chose to destroy the missile and be "Superman", although he technically didn't have to. As for the very ending, the Giant likely still remembers Hogarth and everyone else, as the train crash that originally destroyed him did not cause any kind of amnesia. I hope this answers your question; I had a little difficulty deciphering what you mean.
