Heather says:

I wonder if the two-way mirrors have anything to do with the Order's 
communications system?  JKR did say that we will see them again....  
Maybe they work a little like cell phones - each member has his 
own "nubmer" and can communicate with any other person in the Order 
this way.  Maybe when Sirius gave Harry the mirror, he not only was 
giving Harry a means to communicate with himself, but also all the 
other members of the Order.
