How does Kreacher know when to injure BB? There must have been some 
system in place to let him know.

If [Sirius] knew [the mirror] was gone, he may think Harry'd already 
tried that method and resorted to the floo network when the mirror 
didn't work.

I don't think he's using a mirror. I think there are only two, 
Sirius's and James's, which Harry now has, and that Sirius has his 
(but is keeping the fact that he gave James's to Harry a scret from
Lupin--sorry--wrong thread.)


Kabuki: 

This is my first post so do bear with me. 

I too doubt that Kreacher is using the mirror, but not just because 
it may have been broken or whatnot. Isn't it more likely that he was 
using the floo network when the house was near deserted and Sirius 
was upstairs moping with BB? Doesn't he does live beneath an old-
fashioned pot belly stove in the cellar? Couldn't that work as a 
makeshift floo? Sorry but I'm at work and without access to direct 
quotes.

And is there any evidence that Lupin even knows about the mirror? 
Sirius was being watched for any strange activity. He was pretty much 
under magical house arrest. The mirror seems to be some simple brand 
of magic, and it is probably easy to counter with the right charms.

> I also doubt very much that Kreacher has a Dark Mark. He's a House
Elf, a slave, a lesser being in the eyes of Voldemort. <snip> He's 
communicating somehow with Narcissa (and directly or indirectly with 
Lucius), but how he's doing it (after the escape and return at 
Christmastime) is completely unclear.


Kabuki:

It doesn't seem like he would have had to do much in the way of 
playing double agent. The wizards tend to ignore or avoid him, from 
what I could see. Its a Marxist uprising waiting to happen, if given 
the right incentive and circumstance IMO.

Just my two cents...
