HI FOXIE 84--
I do think that DD had a "formal will" (he prided himself,
"well organized mind") in which he will leave things to Hagrid,
MG, and this will bring his brother out in the open to be a
mentor to Harry and IMO expose the Gryffindor family background.

We know that DD created bottles of his memories and I think that he
will leave some of those important memories to Harry, but they won't
be known from the get-go.  DD may leave Harry the key to a desk or a
vault at Gringotts (my first thought on seeing the UK children's
cover may be DD's family vault at Gringotts) and Harry will have
to "discover them".  We know from canon the memories in the Pensieve
are actual memories not just representations of what the "storer"
recalls, and I believe that DD left information that HP needs to
finish his task and that DD was not ready to divulge.

I also think that Petunia is safeguarding a written note or map for
Harry "in case of DD's Death" and she will give this to him on his
last return to 4 PD per DD's instructions.
