I've come to the opinion that not being afraid of death has something
to do with the locked room. From what I can remember of the top of
my head (no HP books with me, just microbiology, and thet're not very
interesting, are they Precious?)...
Voldemort's biggest fear is death/dying/ something Beyond the Veil
perhaps?
When Voldemort is possessing Harry near the end of OotP, he thinks
something along the lines of 'let the pain end,just let me die as
nothing is worse than this...And I'll see Sirius again...'
At this point, Voldemort leaves Harry, because he felt the powers
that he so detests...not being afraid of death
Anyway, this is entirely speculative because I have no idea why this
would be so great or terrible that the room it was kept had to be
locked, but I think it may have something to do somewhere...
Lola...desperately trying to avoid studying for Monday's microbiology
exam...
