You know, I never though of this before but it makes complete sense. 
I'm not sure who the narrorator is in this series but JKR did say 
that the book was written with the "view from Harry's glasses." So 
even if the narrorator isn't Harry isn't written to be from his 
perspective. I think that you are right in gaging that all of his 
experiences and memories he will be able to trace back to his friends 
because in the end "the famous Harry Potter" would be nothing without 
his friends. He could of never survived getting through all the 
obstacles in order to retrieve the Philosopher's stone. 

Especially since the fourth book Ron and Hermione and all the others 
have become huge assests to Harry. In GoF when Ron isn't talking to 
him Harry finds great difficulty in concentrating on the summoning 
charm while Ron is mad at him. I think that in these final two books 
his friends, but particularly Ron and Hermione are going to be the 
reason is able to get through these rough times and maybe even the 
way he finds the strenght...or even the will to defeat Lord 
Voldemort. 

Sorry I got a bit off topic with the friends part but back to memoir. 
I think that in book 7 when she announces the fate of all of the 
characters it could be that Harry did indeed defeat Lord Voldemort 
and went on to live a long and prosperous life in the Wizarding 
world. We know that JKR said that she won't write about it because 
she said there won't be any, "mid-life crisis Harry", however this 
does make me wonder, though we know she is saying it due to the fact 
that she isn't going to write that far ahead in his life or is she 
saying ALSO that she isn't going to have Harry live that long. We 
don't know. Basically I am saying that I agree with the memoir idea 
and think, especially now that I think about it, that, that is indeed 
the format of the books.
