Perhaps the  "key" to the Locked Room is sacrificial love?  Or perhaps
that's what's stored inside?  (It would have been great if Luna had been able finish her comments when standing outside the door;  she sensed whose were the voices on the other side of the veil.)  Interesting  that love could be contained in a room and that the voices of the departed be behind a veil.  All of Heaven and Purgatory seem to be holed up at the Ministry.   Lily, DD, now Harry having to make the ultimate sacrifice?
