Finwitch:

Or it did not. Harry just believed it did. (Just something coming to 
mind after watching Star Trek - like the pilot episode 'the cage' - 
or the two where Spock helps invalised Captain Pike go back to that 
forbidden planet). A very strong illusion about something happening 
that is. Maybe the knife didn't melt - but the door or whatever - 
caused Harry to believe so? Maybe he DID open it, and therefore was 
empowered against Voldemort without even KNOWING it? (because it's 
about subconcious and cannot be known conciously)
