I  have to admit that I was surprised that there were hints about
the broken mirror in the chat. Not what I expected at all. Even  so,
my favoured medium for seeing more of Sirius is the Pensieve.
That way we might get some answers to some critical questions.

But... the pensieve only allows for the examination of memory, 
yes? You don't get to interact/converse with folks when you're in a 
pensieve, so what new insight could Harry gain from Sirius thereby???

 Jen: I can tell you one big memory we need an explanation for--the 
 Prank. JKR said today, 'you'll find out more about this in due 
course' so someone needs to come through with a full explanation. 
The problem is, who's left? Lupin has no memory of it, Snape 
remembers only what Sirius told him and then James saving him in the 
tunnel. That leaves Wormtail, the only living person who knows the 
full story of that night.

It seems like the pensieve won't help for the prank. How would 
Pettigrew or Lupin have any access to the pensieve to put a memory 
in there? However.....I have another thought about the mirror. What 
if Sirius had the mirror with him when he died and he now has a 
chance to give it to James so that James and/or Lily can communicate 
directly with Harry at some point. JKR said we would not see a 
living James or Lily....but that doesn't necessarily mean that Harry 
can't communicate with them from the other side. James could tell 
Harry about the prank directly and Sirius could put in his 2 cents 
as well.
