"Dumbledore lowered his hands and surveyed Harry through his half-
moon glasses.  

`It is time,' he said, `for me to tell you what I should have told 
you five years ago, Harry.  

Please sit down.  I am going to tell you everything.'"

Elkins and others have commented on how the legacy items Harry 
depends on  - mother's protection, map, cloak - are failing him as 
the story goes on.

Taken at face value, the above quote ('everything') implies that 
Dumbledore's usefulness is about to run out.  His power and wisdom 
may still have value, but any mysteries in books 6 and 7 will be as 
unknown to Dumbledore as to us. His omniscience will be at an end.
