  Andie:

  I've been searching quick quotes for some canon on thoughts that I have
  and I came across this sentence from a JKR interview, "Harry, Jessica and me
  July 8, 2000.
  "...but once you're dead you're dead.  No magic power can resurrect a
  TRULY (my emphasis) dead person."

  Is DD TRULY dead?  Re-reading HBP, pg 609, "The locket they had managed to steal
  so many hours before had fallen out of DD pocket.  It had opened, perhaps due to the
  force with which it hit the ground."  Did DD open it on his slow descent and find that
  the horcrux was a fake and realized it would be better if everyone at the moment
  thought him dead so he could go after it again without LV knowing the he was alive?

  And if DD is TRULY dead then from JRK website, "Wizards have ways of making 
  sure their voices are heard after their death."  

  So I'm sure that one way or another  Harry will receive help from DD.

  My point exactly. I have posted this answer a few times already about DD's death, faking his death, planned death, whatever, but the point I was trying to make was also like this, but he's not just going for the locket with horcrux but all the horcruxes, without interruption both from Voldemort and his followers and from the ministry of magic.
  Not all wizards can find magical traces the way DD does. And even if Hermione will help Harry, intellegent as she is she have no way of finding magical traces protecting the horcruxes. Nobody knows where DD was going and doing till the end of HBP except for Harry, Hermione and Ron. But I guess there was a purpose on why DD told Harry about the horcruxes aside from just find and destroy them, as he definitely did not say how to find them and destroy them, and where to find them.
