Which brings up a different question.  I don't know if anyone has brought this up before, 
but didn't Harry hinder the safety of the Stone by attempting to 'help'? After all, the 
Stone was supposedly safe in the Mirror of Erised. Dumbledore stated that only 
someone who wanted the Stone but not use the Stone could get it. If Harry didn't show 
up, wouldn't the Stone have remained in the Mirror? Is this one of those plot-holes that 
we must ignore?
