Sorry if this thread is no longer going but I have a couple of ideas of 
what JKR is talking about when she says that there are things that Harry 
learns in Chamber that foreshadows what he will find out in Prince....
1.  the Parseltongue thing
2.  the Sword of Godric Gryffindor that Harry received when he was fighting 
the basilisk (I guess that's a discovery, right....?)
3.  the fact that Voldy transferred some of his powers to Harry when he 
tried to kill him as a baby and gave him that scar.
 
1 and 3 tie in together since Parseltongue is one of the things that Voldy 
gave to Harry that day.  I think number 2 refers to the discovery that 
Harry will make in Prince that he is the true heir to Godric Gryffindor.... 
and the last remaining heir as well.
 
I hope this is what you were talking about.
