Plus  I'd like to add a possible addition: Harry will learn to 
understand the  power in that room better when he grows in his 
knowledge of Lily who worked  at the DOM in my opinion. Even if that 
bit isn't true, a locked door full of  the power Voldemort knows not? 
That's too compelling to *not* have Voldemort  come face to face with 
his doom there. Love IS his downfall, the thing he's  overlooked in 
every instance, his achilles heel, all the cliches you can  think of

I like this idea of Bess' and yours that LV will meet his doom in the  Room 
of Love.  I wonder if LV will be undone by finding out in that room  that his 
mother loved him after all?  I am not sure JKR wants to leave LV  in terrible 
pain forever, but the realization he was loved may take away his  power and 
desire to do harm.  I always felt a great deal of pity for  Meriope  for not 
having the strength to live and being blamed for it on top  of everything else.  I 
think she is in the mode of mothers who loved their  sons in the book and 
that will be revealed. Narcissa also is one of the  mothers who loved their sons 
and I wonder if she will have to die for Draco in  the end, or perhaps she is 
the character JKR decided to spare.
