Finwitch:

You know - what if it isn't a door but just a wall pretending? That 
would explain why Harry couldn't open it with Sirius' knife (which IS 
supposed to open any lock). What ever there is... Maybe something 
like the fire Akhilleus' mother used to protect her son (she held him 
by heel, so heel was left vulnerable...) Hmm- AD told Harry his 
mother's sacrifice lingered in his very skin - perhaps, unlike what 
Voldemort thinks, it never WAS in Harry's blood...
