Hi all, I'm new here (amazed at the amount of posts I've read over 
the last week or so - I feel as if I've been sitting at the computer 
24/7!) but a thought just came to me while reading some of the mirror 
of erised posts.

We know that the inscription on the mirror is reversed, and someone 
here postulated that you may have to turn away from the mirror to 
truly see the inscription, and JKR has said that the mirror Sirius 
gave to Harry will be important.  What if Harry must face away from 
the mirror, but hold up Sirius's mirror so that he sees the 
inscription clearly and then whatever is reflected at him backwards 
in the mirror would be the true reflection, and can be used as some 
kind of weapon, or information etc against LV or regarding Sirius, 
who may have some informaiton from beyond the grave!

Just a thought!
