What's in the locked room?

 DD says Voldemort fears the mysterious force in the MoM-room. But 
how can Voldemort fear what he seems to have used the better part of 
his life to get: immortality/everlasting life? Have you thought of an 
explanation to this seeming discrepancy?

Hmmmmm...I can see (I think) What Kneasy is getting out...and also 
what Berit is getting....just to play Devil's Advocate here, though...

What is Voldemort really after? 'Life'? Sort of...but then, with 
normal, everyday 'life'...there is always Death to follow. Even 
Phoenix's 'die'--rebrithing from the ashes young and anew.

Voldemort is looking for a way out of that natural cycle--not so much 
Life, as the cessation, in his case, of the eventuality of 
Death....which in turn, if you ask a lot of philospher types, argue 
that Life itself looses its meaning...and is essentally no longer 
life, because it is lacking it's counter balance in 
death...bascially, you stagnate after awhile (You see this theme in a 
lot of 'immortal' stories--everything becomes the same after 
awhile....)and 'die' internally, even though your body still lives on 
(Essentiually, you loose your soul, your emotions, your humanity).

So what he's really seeking is to escape the natural order of things--
Life being one of them (Because after Life comes Death)...so I can 
see where Life (in it's original form) would be something everyone 
has, something Voldy would fear (in it's natural form), and something 
that could very well tip the balance. After all, if Voldemort is 
gifted with the Life in that room (which would be the natural, 
balanced version)...what would happen to him? After all, he 
has 'lived' far beyond his natural time by now...so...he might 
gain "real' Life if he went into that room, only to loose it 
instantly--because Death has been waiting for him for so long, in 
order to rebalance the scales...
