In an interview with Mugglenet.com, JKR revealed the following:

MA: Here at the end you sort of get the feeling that we know what
Harry's setting out to do, but can this really be the entire
throughline of the rest of the story?
JKR: It's not all of it. Obviously it's not all of it, but still,
that is the way to kill Voldemort. That's not to say it won't be
extremely an torturous and winding journey, but that's what he's got
to do. Harry now knows — well he believe he knows – what he's
facing. Dumbledore's guesses are never very far wide of the mark. I
don't want to give too much away here, but Dumbledore says, `There
are four out there, you've got to get rid of four, and then you go
for Voldemort.' So that's where he is, and that's what he's got to
do.
ES: It's a tall order.
JKR: It's a huge order. But Dumbledore has given him some pretty
valuable clues and Harry, also, in the course of previous six books
has amassed more knowledge than he realizes. That's all I am going
to say.

After reading this article, I decided to go back through the
different novels to search for information both explicitly stated
and implied information about Lord Voldemort. What does Harry "know" 
about Lord Voldemort and how might it come in handy in the future? I 
thought that I would list the information on this site to see what 
people think. Over the next few weeks, I will list this information 
and some questions and conjectures of my own in six different threads 
(titled to correspond to the relevant texts). If you are interested in
this info, let me know by replying to the thread and I will continue
as long as there is some interest. If you have anything to add to
the information I have compiled, please feel free to reply to the
thread.
