That's the big one bugging me, too.  I've been wondering if the plan 
was to keep Harry alive long enough to learn all he'd need to learn 
to be able to fight Voldemort to the death; what if Dumbledore 
interpreted the prophecy to mean that they'd both die?  If that was 
the case, then loving Harry too much would certainly qualify as 
interference.  How icky, I know, but Dumbledore does say that he 
caught himself caring more for Harry's present happiness more than 
the tremendous number of faceless and nameless lives that were at 
stake... That could indicate that his plan was to sacrifice one life 
in exchange for many many lives.
I'm also wondering if there's still not enough information for us to 
determine what the plan was.
