I don't think Dumbledore (or Rowling) was talking about that kind of 
love.  I don't mean that conjugal or erotic love cannot be a 
manifestation of the kind of love studied in the locked room.  But not 
unrequited love, surely.  I mean is it really love or is it just 
wanting something, something that the other person doesn't want to 
give.  I think it is giving-love, not getting-love that is the power 
the "dark lord knows not".
