The Life of Tom Riddle

What exactly is the significance of Dumbledore's retelling of Voldemort's past. It seemed to be his last battle against him, possibly giving Harry the information he needs to defeat his nemisis. We learn about the parents and the past behind the powerful wizard, but how exactly will this help Harry. Does the answer to the defeat of the Dark Lord lie in his past?

I think the extra knowledge will help Harry understand more of who Voldemort is and what drives his actions. I think that this knowledge is even greater than all the magical ability in the world. This is what gives Harry the advantage and what might cause him victory in the end. I think this is why Dumbledore took the time to teach Harry and to track down all the different memories. I think he believed this information would be of great use to him. This is seen when Harry expects to be taught spells and charms and defenses by Dumbledore, when in actuality he was taught history and knowledge.

The past of Tom Riddle will come into play somehow. It might be directly or indirectly, but it will help Harry in his quest to defeat Voldemort.
