No, no no. Harry [or Dudley] is lying in a flower bed face *up* 
because someone or something has hit him in the face. This has made 
him fall *backwards* into the flowerbed, landing on his back with 
face up.

The soon to be notorious Dumbledore quote:

"what I should have told you five years ago. . . . I'm going 
to tell you everything."

Whether 'five years ago' is a Flint or not, the more important 
speculation is that these lines ...
... are of course, said to Harry in the hospital, at the end of 
term...

... and will be the last lines in OoP. ;0)
