Dumbledore had this uncanny ability to trust people even in the  
strangest situations. Maybe he just thought or new that Harry could  
figure it out or must figure it out in order to grow toward 
fulfilling  the prophecy?

The prophecy helps COS make more sense to me.  Harry finds the  Chamber 
because he's the only one who can.  He's Riddle's equal.  I've  always thought 
Dumbledore allowed Harry to face Voldemort in PS because of the  prophecy.  Even 
before OOTP I had a feeling that DD was somehow clued in to  Harry's destiny as 
the only person who could defeat Voldemort.
 
That being said I don't think Dumbledore knows as much about the Chamber as  
he knew about events in PS.  In HBP when he's talking to Harry about  
Horcruxes Dumbledore says that he had never encountered anything like the diary  
before.  I think Harry was the only person who could have found the chamber  and 
saved Ginny.  He's Riddle's only true equal.  Even Tom seemed to  realize that.  
That's why he wanted to badly to lure Harry to the  Chamber.
