SNIP I think it was decided that the mirror is making up these people.  The Mirror of Erised says: "I show not your face but your hearts desire."  Harry wants a family, he desires a family.  He knows what his parents look like, and then everyone else is just made up so show him the family he wishes for.

ME:  Actually, Harry had no idea what his parents looked like before the Mirror (unless we can say that he subconciously remembered their faces from very early childhood - unlikely).  There are no photos of the Potters in the Dursleys's home.  Harry only sees a photo at the end of POS (Hagrid's photo album).  So I believe that Harry saw accurate appearances of his parents (he recognizes them in the photo album, and when they emerge from LV's wand).  This leads me to believe that the other people he saw in the mirror were just as accurate.  Why should we doubt that the mirror can show muggles?  The people are not ACTUALLY there.  It can show anything.
