Syroun adds her two pence:

I think that the biggest regret that Harry has is not having used 
the mirror that Sirius gave him as a form of contacting him 
secretly. That single act would have allowed Harry to avert the 
whole confrontation at the MoM and Sirius would, likely, still be 
alive. But, that leads me to another theory; the mirror will yet be 
used for contact between Harry and Sirius in books 6 and 7.

Any thoughts?
