I was not with my book when I penned the above responce to Athena.  
Since then I found the passage ( in the Occlumency (sp?) chapter I 
believe; once again at work without my books!)

In fact JKR foreshadows Black's Death in this passage as well as 
explaining why Harry so put it out of his mind. Not only did Harry 
put it in the bottom of his trunk, but Harry associated this action 
with protecting Sirius from Snape, not V. so the mirror did not come 
to mind when he was stressed by V. in the action leading to the climax.
