Quick recap:  Harry looked in the mirror and wanted more then 
anything to find the Stone, and so he did.

Now let's assume:

If in the future, Harry  should look in the mirror and wished more 
then anything that DD was still there to guide him, who knows what 
mighht happen. The mirror is obviously a very powerfull instrument 
and DD knows how to use it.  I should think that it still has a lot 
of powers after DD is gone.

My 2 cents,
