Jill:
I am guessing that the situation with James' mirror is similar to 
that of the invisibility cloak, i.e., "Your father left this in my 
possession..."  I think James distributed these items to those he 
trusted the most before he went into hiding.  (If he's already in 
hiding, why would he need an invisibility cloak? :))I think James 
would have given the mirror to Sirius because if he kept it and 
Sirius' mirror found the wrong hands, it could jeopardize the 
Potter's safety.
