When Quirrell looks into the mirror he sees himself presenting the
stone to Voldemort. Voldemort does not/isn't capable of looking in 
the mirror, but i believe that he does know how to work it because he
tells Quirrell to use Harry to get the Stone." <snip> 


CH3ed:
Well, before LV put his memory and a piece of his soul in it the 
diary was just a diary that couldn't interact with its reader. So I 
figure we can expect some change in the Horcruxed object's ability. 
In PS/SS Quirrell was the one looking in the mirror, but I think LV 
could have looked too. If I remember correctly (my copies of book 1-
3 are currently lent to my pals) LV told Quirrell to take his turban 
off so LV could look at Harry.

"We know that Dumbledore magically placed the Stone in the mirror, 
and only those that only wanted to get the stone out, but not use it 
could successfully get the stone. As we can see, you can PUT things 
in the mirror, or have it as the guardian of such things. You also 
see voldemort interfere when Quirrell is talking to himself and says 
something along the lines of
"...should i break it?" If the Horcrux was inside the mirror, i don't
think that Voldemort would want Quirrell breaking it. As for the
Horcrux helping out LV/Quirrell, well Dumbledore has that spell on 
it, right?" <snip>


CH3ed:
Yep, you can put things in the mirror. But I wonder if there was 
really a piece of soul in the mirror and then DD added a 
philosopher's stone in it, shouldn't there have been some 
interesting spontaneous reactions? After all the stone has life 
sustaining properties. I reckon a soul piece would do with the 
philosopher's stone what the diary soul piece tried to do with 
Ginny. 

Also wouldn't DD have detected the soul and/or the horcrux-making 
spells when he put the stone in? He must have suspected that LV had 
a horcrux or two hidden away somewhere since he knew LV did not die 
at GH. DD wouldn't have particularly suspected the mirror of Erised, 
of course, but seeing as he is good at recognizing traces of magic 
(as he showed Harry in the cave in HBP) something should have 
smelled fishy to him.

CH3ed is skeptical about the mirror being a horcrux, but enjoys 
thinking about it. :O)
