My best guess is that it is all of the above.  None of them stands 
alone.  Everything on the list relys on, or is enhanced by the 
others.  IOW, true love is always courageous as is the truth and 
truth motivated by love and sacrafice is the most courageous of all. 
I think now, and have always thought, that love was too simple an 
answer, Voldemort has seen love before, even possessed a loving 
person in the form of Ginny and probably many, many others.  If the 
answer is only love, or even sacraficial love, why was he not 
repelled by Ginny when she thought of her parents or brothers or even 
Harry.  

I think the power in the room is the power of Good.  An all 
incompassing power of what is right in the world and about people in 
general. When Harry thought of Serius at the end of OotP it was not 
only the love in his heart but the profound sense of loss and longing 
that engulfed him as he thought of Serius' death.  It would have been 
connected to the courage it took to go after him when he was in 
trouble, the love Harry had for Serius and for his parents and all of 
the people who helped him to do what he thought was right on that 
particular day.

I hope this is not too much of a ramble and that it makes sense.  
Love does not stand alone, it is upheld and sustained by all of the 
things on the list.  All of these things in combination confronted 
with evil and weilding their combined power inside one person or a 
group of people could indeed be terrible and wonderful.
