I think it's clear that the reason Harry is the only one who has a
chance of defeating Voldemort is because he has more of the thing
behind the locked door in the ministry than anyone else. But that's
not very helpful because it just begs the question, what exactly is
in the locked room? What is this enormously powerful thing that
Harry has and Voldemort does not?
Love no doubt has something to do with it but I don't think that's
all or even the most important part because Dumbledore says it's not
only wonderful it is also more terrible than death. Perhaps courage
and skill and sacrifice and "old magic" and something else that's
hard to put a finger on; I guess you could say the room contains
what Tom Wolfe called "The Right Stuff". Chuck Yeager had it, so
does Harry Potter.
So why is the room locked? I don't think the wizards locked the door
and are in fact trying to unlock it, but without success. I think in
book 7 Harry will find a way to unlock it, something even Dumbledore
couldn't do. He knows that opening the door is the only way to
destroy Voldemort but Harry also knows that if he does so he will
die too; remember that powerful "old magic" involves sacrifice.
I predict that in the last chapter of book 7, the one just before
epilog where the adult lives of the surviving characters are
described, in the chapter entitled
"The Man Who Died", he opens that door. And Harry Potter is no more.
