Hello, new here, with a different theory. 
Maybe the mirror can show the future. Harry's parents may not really 
be dead, maybe they are in hiding. I believe only a few select 
wizards would know about this though. What if the curse used on them 
actually did not kill them, but erased their memories? Also What if 
Harry does have a sibling, say a brother, that was also affected by 
that curse (Neville)?  I haven't worked out everything in my mind 
yet, so I find it hard to explain. I do plan on letting everyone know 
when I figure it out for my self.
