Betsy:
I've been reading this post, which btw I found it very interesting, and I just had an idea why the door at the DoM was locked.  Maybe 
it just needs someone to channel whatever is in it.  Ok, let me explain.  I guess the door was locked because the person who holds 
a power such as the one there hasn't use or channel or be in touch with it yet.  So, if Harry has that power within himself, he just needs to be in contact with that power for the door to open and 
then use whatever is hidden there.

I hope this would make sense.

Another thought, what happened with the door while Harry was 
thinking about Sirius during LV's attack?  Was the door unlocked 
for a few minutes??  I don't know perhaps I'm just watching too 
much sci-fi, but what if...
