I can't really buy into this though. Yes, Sora restored the worlds but it doesn't explain how KH became the way it is in KH2 since the door wasn't even open to it until the very end so the world becomes a realm of darkness again despite the Heartless not being present in the world.

My leaning is that you're onto something, but it's largely unimportant, unless Mister Master Man's ability affects how KH is perceived by those who get close. If it does matter, then noticing means something. If not, then it just gives us an in-universe explanation for a possible designer oversight that can be applied after the fact. Either way, insignificant unless shown to be otherwise.

Not that we should discourage any sound theory based on evidence and a little bit of rationality.
I'm just theorizing for the moment as I hope to see if we will learn more about KH in Birth By Sleep considering Master Xehanort was able to summon Kingdom Hearts and he is supposedly the last known Keyblade Master.

I do feel I am onto something. If Kingdom Hearts is the place where all hearts are from, wouldn't it make since it would appear different to people to reflect their own hearts that came from there? (Course Xemnas might throw a monkey wrench into that one...).

It's been a while since I played the original game, but I remember Kingdom Hearts being light. Ansem thought that it was all-powerful darkness or something, but it's not.
Its not that badly convulated, most of the real bullcrap in KH2 was there purely for dramatic purposes and doesn't heavily affect the main story whatsoever with the exception of Xehanort/Ansem/Xemnas stuff... I think we can still move on, especially since Chain of Memories is still the most superior entry in the series...

The other thing that's different from KH1 and 2 is the method of which KH is found. In KH1, its a place in the heart of darkness where destroyed worlds go to, whereas in KH2, Order XIII artificially creates the doorway (or world). Not to mention that the Birth By Sleep trailer suggests its possible to summon Kingdom Hearts with the keyblade...
