guess we will.  Whether Harry can use it to communicate with 
Sirius is another can  of worms, but I like to think he can. I'll bet 
Hermione fixes it for  him.<<

Hmmm, but following onto that and the motorcycle, which 
Amanda asked about in an earlier post...

Hagrid's story of meeting Sirius and Sirius's own account really 
don't match up very well.

Hagrid says that he arrived at the Potters and took  Harry from 
the ruins. Sirius showed up with the motorbike and tried to take 
Harry. Then he gave the bike to Hagrid saying he wouldn't need it 
anymore. (PoA ch 10) No mention of the Potters' bodies.

Sirius says he saw the house destroyed and the Potters' bodies.
(PoA ch 19) No mention of Harry, Hagrid or the motorcycle.

So, what if it wasn't Sirius that Hagrid met?  If Voldemort has a 
DE who can impersonate Sirius, and Pettigrew has one of those 
mirrors...well, that could get sticky, couldn't it.
