I think the real problem with this, as you inadvertently confirmed
yourself, is that all truth and realist is subjective.
There is a basic tenet of psychology that states:  There is no Truth,
there is only Opinion.  There is no Reality, there is only Perception.
To simplify:  What is True or Real to you, may not be True or Real to
me.  It's all subjective. (There is "Truth", and there is "truth."  
The latter of the two, is something that is a fact that is provable 
beyond a reasonable doubt.  I'm still inclined to believe that what's 
behind the door is Love.  

vmonte responds:
I agree that love is behind the door, but not just general love, but, 
the love of a mother for her child. I think that Harry and Neville 
(and perhaps even Luna) were protected by their mothers. I believe 
that they sacrificed themselves (physically or mentally in Neville's 
mother's case) to protect their children. I have a son and I cannot 
think of anything more powerful than a mother's love for her child. 
In fact I cannot think of anything more terrible than the wrath of a 
mother! I could see Mrs. Weasley sacrificing herself to save her 
children.  I wouldn't mess with her either.  Maybe what is behind the 
door at the MoM is a physical manistation of a mother's love....who 
knows.
