Eddie:
Beatrice, you've done an amazing amount of valuable work.  Not to rain
on your parade, but I don't think JKRowling was limiting herself to
knowledge that Harry had amassed _ABOUT VOLDEMORT_.  He has other
knowledge too that may come in handy.  For example, knowledge about
Phoenix' tears (which we saw that Voldemort at 16 (in CoS) had
forgotten).  For example, knowledge that the the Department of
Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic has a room re: Love.  In fact, all
knowledge in the first 6 books is potentially helpful.  Even the
knowledge that Nifflers are good at finding shiny objects may be
useful (like when searching for lockets, cups, rings, etc?)
