Geoff:

In respect of the Mirror, Dumbledore remarked:

'However, this mirror will give us neither knowledge or truth. Men 
have wasted away before it, entranced by what they have seen, or been 
driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible.'

(Philosopher's Stone "The Mirror of Erised" p.157 UK edition)

So Harry was not alone in being attracted. But, I would wager that 
there were many others, like Ron, who were not interested in the 
Mirror.

Almost everything which might become obsessive has its fans and its 
detractors. After all, many contributors to this group are 
Pottertropic but there are many people of my acquaintance (including 
my wife) who are not interested at all. It's true of cricket, 
politics, pop music and romantic fiction....
