Harry?  Any thoughts by anyone or any clues you might have seen??  
Harry sees his other relatives in the Mirror of Erised in Year 1. 

Not only does he see his parents, but he sees many other green eyes 
like his own and an old man with knobby knees. He doesn't see anyone 
that he recognizes (definitely would have recognized Dumbledore!), 
and he would probably remember later on if he recognized Sirius from 
that picture.

Now, now-it is quite possible that Harry does not see Dumbledore in 
the mirror because Dd is still alive!  After all, he does not see 
Petunia, Dudley or Vernon either-so, sorry but they could still be 
related.
