I tend to think that (not to be cliche) that it's Love or Emotion. 
Harry has a lot of passion and at the moment when LV tried to get DD 
to kill Harry by possessing him, he couldn't stay because, as 
Dumbledore tells Harry, he is too full of the force which Voldemort 
cannot bear. I think Voldemort has no problem whatsoever with having 
a strong Will, but he's pretty cold and emotionless. Harry may also 
have willpower, but he's got emotions up the wazoo--especially in 
book #5! Besides, doesn't DD tell him that the door is locked because 
it's such a powerful force that no one understands? I'd say that 
passion makes people do things they don't understand all the time.
