It looks (to me) like he is going to tell Harry what he could not 
tell him at the end of Book I.  In the hospital wing, Harry asked for 
the truth.  Dumbledore replied that truth is a beautiful and terrible 
thing and that he would answer his questions unless he had a good 
reason not to, but that he would not lie.  Harry then said, since 
Voldemort only killed his mother because she tried to stop V. from 
killing HIM (Harry), then why was V. trying to kill him in the first 
place?  Dumbledore sighed deeply and said that he could not tell him, 
not today, not now, but that Harry would know one day.  D. told Harry 
to put it out of his mind until he is older, and that when he is 
ready, he would know.  

So - it seems logical that D. will be telling H. why V. tried to kill 
him all those years ago. :)
