Behind the Locked Door...again...

In OotP, where Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny etc...  are in the DoM, 
Harry tries to use his knife on a door that was locked. His kife 
melted and the door remained locked. What was behind that door? 

Every time this topic comes up, people all say it is love. Blah. 
(How much love can be in the books?) 

 Harry knows it is always locked, and knows that in actuallity, 
because Dumbledore told him,(pp. 843-844): 

"It contains a force that is at once more wonderful and more 
terrible than death, than human intelligence, than forces of nature. 
It is also, perhaps, the most mysterious of the many subjects for 
study that reside there. It is the power held within that room that 
you possess in such quantities and which Voldemort has not at all. 
That power took you to save Sirius tonight. That power also saved 
you from possession by Voldemort, because he could not bear to 
reside in a body so full of the force he detests. In the end, it 
mattered not that you could not close your mind. It was your heart 
that saved you." 

He does point to love in the quote, but as I was reading that 
specific passage, I knew I heard that line before. It was so 
familiar. He used almost the same words to describe truth in PS/SS. 

On page 298, U.S. hardcover edition:

"The truth..is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore 
be treated with great caution...'

Can there be more than one thing locked behind that door? Is the 
truth being studied as well? 

One other thought, how can you study love? It is a great 
psycological debate (I majored in psycology for 2 semesters). There 
are so many different types of love that it would take ages to study 
them all, if you really could. 

What is behind that door? Truth? Wisdom? Love? Does anyone have a 
logical answer?
