I would have to agree.  It is also the power which saved Harry from
possession by Voldemort, "because he could not bear to reside in a body
so full of the force he detests."  My fiancee is attempting to say that
Dumbledore could be speaking of something else, anything else, to
attempt to swerve him away from CheesyMovie!Dumbledore and "her love is
IN YOUR SKIN," but I really don't see any way around it being love.  I,
however, have faith in JKR being able to present it beautifully.

Oh, and I do believe that, in response to people who have been asking
why so much effort to keep Voldemort out of the Dept. of Mysteries when
the Prophesy was such an obvious piece of crap that everyone had already
figured out anyway, there was certainly more than just the Prophesy they
were guarding.  The LUV ROOM seems to hold/be a pretty powerful weapon,
itself.  Any thoughts about the room from others?

Still very shaky from sleep-dep and shock and misery,
