  Well I can say that I totally forgot about Harry getting the Two-Way mirror. However when he found it I yelled and felt horribly sad. Then I got angry at Harry for breaking the mirror. But the letter that went with it led to a question. 

    How did Sirius have James' mirror when supposedly the Potter's house crashed when Voldemort killed them. 
 
   As I recalled in the first book... 
        "No, sir-- house was almost destroyed, but I got him out all right before the Muggles started swarmin' around..." (Hagrid) (US edition, pg 15)
Wouldn't James' mirror break when the house broke down?
