I hope it's more than just love, otherwise the story could get so
sweet we'd all get diabetes.  Love probably has something to do with
it but there must be something more than that because Dumbledore says
it is not only more wonderful than death it is more terrible too.
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 The Right Stuff. So why is it locked? I don't think the
wizards locked it 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 second to last chapter of book 7
entitled "The Man Who Died", the one just before epilog where the
adult lives of the surviving characters are described, he opens that
door and Harry Potter is no more.
