Maybe love is the key.  I mean really a key, the only way to get 
through the door in the MoM is with a pure heart, just like the 
goblin at Gringotts only used his finger to open the high security 
vault, Harry would be able to walk through the door because of his 
heart.  Sounds like it might be a really good place to hide.
