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

Not sure how 'logical' this answer is, but I think it still leads 
back to love.  Why?  The quote in OotP states that LV wouldn't reside 
somewhere that was so full of something he detests.  He certainly 
wouldn't detest wisdom, and doubtful that he detests truth as much as 
he would detest love.  LV would consider love a weakness and a 
vulnerability.  Love is also something that he doesn't understand.  
Therefore, I'm lead back to the conclusion that it's love.
