> Theories abounding but, if the mirror shows Harry's true heart's 
desire, is it as simple as wanting to see his family (if so why were 
the Dursley's left out) or did he just want to see the magic users or 
did he just want to see the ones he would never get to meet 
(presumably because they are dead).

Finwitch:

Nah - the mirror tells us *nothing* of Harry's family. It tells us 
what is his heart's desire. Nothing more, nothing less. It is not 
truthful. It gives no information but the knowledge of what your 
heart's desire is.

So um.. Harry doesn't see the Dursleys in it, because he doesn't WANT 
to see them, quite the opposite - he wants to be RID of them! Of 
course the Mirror won't show him the Dursleys...

I wonder if Ron will become the Head Boy AND the Quidditch Captain as 
he saw in the mirror to be his desire? At least, Ron's in the team 
*and* a prefect,(and curiously enough, Harry's NOT) so it's not so 
farfetched a thought for him to gain his heart's desire!
