OOP, ch. 16, pg. 345, American edition: 
Luna Lovegood speaking:  " '...Afterall, Cornelius Fudge has got his 
own private army...Yes, he's got an army of heliopaths. They're 
spirits of fire... Great tall flaming creatures that gallop across 
the ground, burning everything in front of ---' "


OOP, ch. 34, pg. 775
"Once more the wall spun and became still again. Harry approached a 
door at random and pushed. It did not move... 

" 'Sirus's knife,' said Harry, and he pulled it out from inside his 
robes and slid it into the crack between the door and the wall. The 
others all watched eagerly as he ran it from top to bottom, withdrew 
it, and then flung his shoulder again at the door. It remained as 
firmly shut as ever. What was more, when Harry looked down at the 
knife, he saw that the blade had melted."


pg. 776
" 'You know what could be in there?' said Luna eagerly as the wall 
started to spin yet again."


Now, everyone assumes that the door Dumbledore describes to Harry 
later in the story as, " 'a room in the Department of Mysteries that 
is kept locked at all times,' " (pg. 843) is this same door that 
melted Harry's knife. Nope. Different door. Of the dozen or so doors 
that the DA had to chose from that fateful night, they didn't try all 
of them, only about half. So, it is quite logical that more than just 
one room is "kept locked at all times." Dumbledore was just 
describing ONE of them to Harry, the "you've got it and Voldemort 
doesn't, room." Heliopaths could be behind Door Number 3, for 
instance.

Besides, what about this power that Harry has (love, hope, etc, etc --
whatever it is) would melt a knife?

I think Fudge DOES have an army of heliopaths, just as Luna 
describes -- AND, they were in that room that melted Harry's knife. 
How does Luna know about them? She might be our missing SEER; we have 
all tried to pin that gift on Ron (and, he may have some talent in 
that direction, we shall see) but Luna has much much more to show us.
