So, to get back to the locked door: if it hides Love, it is not
anyone's love in particular, Harry's or Lily's or anyone else's, but
must be some manifestation or symbol of Love in general. The other
rooms had concretised aspects of their themes: time turners and the
bell jar, a tank of brains, floating planets, a doorway with a veil --
all things which would have their various effects on you if you
meddled with them. The locked door may well hide something of that
sort. And, no, I can't imagine what form it might take without coming
up with something silly (like lacy valentines :P).

I wonder if the door to the room of "love" opens in the same way that 
the room of requirement opens?  I'm also curious about how exactly 
JKR will physically manifest love?  If the "curtain" is the gateway 
to death, can this room be rebirth?  Also, Harry's blood, which 
carries love, is now in Voldemort. What if Voldemort and Harry end up 
in this room at the end of book 7? Is this where Harry's blood will 
react against Voldemort?  

Why does the name Tom Riddle evoke the feeling in Harry that he is 
being reacquainted with a childhood friend (CoS)?  If a part of 
Voldemort's "essence" blasted into Harry at GH, will it be forced to 
reveal itself in this "love" room? What if Tom Riddle seems familiar 
because it's part of Voldemort's psyche, which has been sharing space 
in Harry's head?  And how has that psyche changed by living in Potter 
all those years?
