"Yes, his hands are bandaged and I think it's because he has just 
committed an act of betrayal by taking an order from a DE and 
injuring Buckbeak."

DuffyPoo:
I don't think the hands are bandaged because he had to punish himself over the betrayal, at all.  I think Beaky bit him.  I don't know why Beaky didn't eat him...would have saved all this trouble. ;)

"Also, do you think Kreacher knew about the two way mirror and perhaps 
took it so Harry couldn't contact Sirius that way?  Perhaps the 
DEs 're-wired' it so they could use it with Kreacher."

DuffyPoo:
No, I don't think Kreacher knew anything about the mirror.  It really doesn't matter, since Harry completely forgot about it.  As JKR said on her website, it's the one time his curiosity didn't get the better of him.
