Valky:
How interesting Orna, I was just talking about the very same thing in
another forum. And I am with you on this. I sense the room is as
dangerous as it is good. A permanent lock on the room is only our
first indication of this, too, there is also the damage that is done
to Harry's knife when he pokes it into the room, the knife can never
be used again, there is the agony felt by Voldemort when he comes into
contact with it in Harry, so much so that he flees the Ministry and
doesn't return, and there are Dumbledore's words at the end of OOTP -
a force that is at once more wonderful and terrible than death. 

I think the hints are there but it is easy to overlook, the room of
love is as full of love's cruelty and pain as it is love's sweet and
light.
