|    Another ket point in this whole sequence is that Dumbledore
| should have gave Harry a means to communicate to someone in the
| Order who is outside of Hogwarts.  Sirius gave him the mirror, but
| Harry was too concerned for his safety to use it.

[Lee]
No, Harry didn't even know what the gift from Sirius was until the end where
He's repacking his trunk to go back to the Dursleys for the summer.  It's
then he finds the still wrapped package from Sirius, opens it and reads the
note telling him it's a two-way mirror.

So, here he had a way of communicating all the time and never knew it.  I
think that's what makes the whole death of Sirius so much sadder.

| Lupin, this whole scene could have been avoided.

[lee]
Yes, indeed.  But Lupin didn't have a mirror, I don't think.  Only James and
Sirius had the original mirrors.

| fit.  Still it is fun discussing the tactical aspects of the
| operation.

[Lee]
And all the possible "What If" scenarios.

Cheers,
