Mirror of Erised

If Ron's mirror showed him alone as Head Boy (his deepest desire), why
didn't Harry's image show himself WITH his family?  Wouldn't Harry's
deepest wish to have a family, ie. be WITH them?  Why was his family
shown alone without Harry? (To me, a more accurate depiction of
Harry's mirror-vision would be his parents hugging him, surrounded by
other miscellaneous family members).  We know the Mirror can show the
person that is looking as it showed Ron & later, Harry with the Stone.
 (This also assumes a person's deepest desires change...for an instant
Harry's deepest desire was capturing the Stone before Quirrel, all
thoughts of family pushed aside)

Just curious.
