Wanted to get your thoughts on the locked room in Department of 
Mysteries.  When Harry is trying to find the right door to enter, he 
goes to the locked door and tries everything to open it.  It was odd 
that it melted the knife that Sirius had given him.  In the end of 
the book, Dumbledore told Harry that there was a locked room in the 
Department of Mysteries that holds that power that Harry possess.  We 
know it was his heart that kept Voldemort from possessing him for any 
amount of time.  Any ideas on what "power" is behind the locked 
door?  It would be hard to lock up feelings in a room.  Especially 
something that would melt a knife.

I think that the "power" that is locked in the Department of Mysteries is an emotion. Maybe it's Love or Faith or whatever but i remember somewhere in canon that Harry's Mom transfered this kind of power to him when she sacrificed herself to save her son. and in GoF, Voldy said that the power that was transfered by Lily to Harry is an ancient kind of power. it's so ancient that Voldy forgot about it. I also think that it is safe to assume that the fields of study that the Dept. of Mysteries concerns itself deals with the unexplainable in our world. (Time, Thoughts and Memories, Prophecies, Death, etc...) so I think that Love is the thing that is locked up in the Dept. DD also stated that this power (Love) is dangerous and at the same time wonderful and in my opinion is taken for granted by Voldy. That's why Voldy wasn't able to posses Harry all the way because his heart is full of Love... for Sirius and for everbody else that Voldy can not achieve or understand.
