Amy Z: 
To that phrasing of the question I would answer that it's in 
Dumbledore's office, delivered by Dumbledore, with the teaser JKR 
gave us when the publication date was announced in January '03:  "I 
am now going to tell you everything."  The "everything" being "the 
question you asked me at the end of PS."  It isn't the villain-
revealed moment you're talking about, but it is much bigger than any 
of those revelations, because it's about the mystery of the whole 
series.

Cassie:  

Well, it does solve the 'mystery of the series'  and there were more little 
mysteries throughout (what's up with that door Harry keeps dreaming about?  Why 
is Hagrid all beat up? Why won't Dumbledore look at Harry? Who sent that 
Howler and what does it mean? etc...)  

Hmm...Ok, new approach: 

The other books seem to lead us on.  They have their share of little 
mysteries, like the ones I mentioned in OoP.  Maybe it's just me and I need to reread 
the book, but there wasn't really any part where there was a shocking 
revelation and everything just fell into place.    

I've been trying to figure out why OoP was a bit...disappointing for me 
(Well, I loved the Snape scenes.  and the Lucius scenes.  and the mentions of 
Quirrell, Snape, and Lucius. *_*) I suppose.  

It's good to have the change and not have the same plot line all the time, 
yes. But, like I said, I was a bit disappointed. XP
