L.O.O.N at your service:

 "of a single door in a silent corridor. And this door is somehow 
more terrifying than every other nightmare combined."

Well, Harry has already found the fear of Dementors worse than the 
fear of Voldemort, although that was prior to the Graveyard Scene, 
so I suppose he might have changed his mind.

The beauty of this phrase is that it could be all number of things, 
but I have a couple that are currently my favourites:

Harry knows that he is going to find something terrible behind that 
door:

1. It could be a dead friend: he's heard a duel, perhaps even heard 
an Unforgiveable Spell or two, then silence. Harry's friends are 
very important to him, and the knowledge that he is going to find 
that they have been very badly hurt - or worse, would be awful.

2. It could be that he will be found guilty of some trumped up 
charge in a kangeroo court, and that door means going to face his 
own execution - beheading if you want to believe the Stoned Harry 
theory (well I think it was Stoned Harry, says she, nervously). 

I do feel that this door somehow marks a point of no-return. He must 
walk over the threshold and it feels like it is part of his hero's 
path. I've even wondered whether that door might somehow represent 
the loss of his magic powers...
