FINDING THE HORCRUXES

Surely the whole point of Dumbledore's "private lessons" was to give 
Harry the information that he would need to do just that? Harry 
knows everything that Dumbledore knew about Voldemort's horcruxes 
and where they might be hiding. Now the detective work begins, and 
we all know that Harry, Ron, and Hermione are formidable detectives.

GETTING PAST ENCHANTMENTS

Dumbledore attributes his ability to surpass these obstacles to his 
knowledge of Voldemort's "style" (HBP 563). Harry, obviously, 
doesn't know Voldemort's style, but I remain convinced that the 
characteristics that Harry shares with Voldemort (same wand core, 
parseltongue, half-blood, mental connection forged by the scar) will 
serve as passwords to enrty. Voldemort, after all, would have 
attempted to design the defenses guarding the horcruxes so that only 
he would be able to penetrate them(HBP 564). I'm guessing, then, 
that he would have relied on characteristics that he thought were 
unique to him for protection. Unfortunately for him, he blessed 
Harry with a number of these unique qualities when he gave him the 
scar. It seems likely that this will lead to Voldemort's downfall 
(HBP 510-511). 

Also, let's not underestimate Harry's ability to negotiate obstacles 
on the way to a goal. He did, after all, get to the Sorcerer's 
Stone, save Ginny from the Chamber of Secrets, win the Triwizard 
Tourament, navigate his way through the Department of Mysteries, and 
get the memory from Slughorn.
