My take on the infamous "L.O.T." has to do with a feeling I have 
about Dumbledore having premonition-like abilities-- that he somehow 
knows that certain events will happen-- he certainly is right on top 
of the ball and prepared for swift action when bad things happen.  
And there have been a number of instances in his encounters with 
Harry that he appears to have anticipated Harry's involvement or 
interest in.  I don't at all think he knows exactly what will happen 
(obviously as seen in GoF) but as time passes I think he sort of 
picks up clues that indicate things are happening as they should.  If 
Albus has prior knowledge of cerain events that could take place, 
(such as his prediction that Voldemort would return and his swift 
plans to do what he could to circumvent Vold and the DE's) he would 
be able to anticipate and hold an advantage.  I think that the 
meaning of the "L.O.T." line is that the blood taken from Harry is an 
event that Dumbledore anticipated and that things somehow are going 
according to his "cosmic plan" to defeat Voldemort.
