Orna:
There seem some of them-us
I'll try:
I am not sure the mirror would show Voldemort all powerful. It's too 
abstract and general. The mirror shows very concrete things which 
are relevant to the moment – like Harry's ancestors, Ron being 
presented the quiddich cup, and 
DD getting socks. So Voldemort 
would see what he would like most at the special moment he would 
look into it. (The prophecy, Harry dead, or something like this).
Since it just shows it and doesn't really aid you on this way (apart 
from the PS, which was DD's enchantment of the mirror), I suggest 
that the mirror would be a very frustrating object for Voldemort. 
Showing him what he wants, without giving it to him, or helping him 
on the way, would either enrage him, or get him to sneer upon the 
mirrors function. Usually Voldemort is very abhorrent to feel or 
even admit human characteristics – like wishes, dreams – which 
always point to some weakness or neediness in yourself. Since the 
mirror acts on desires, which sometimes are not known or fully 
conscious – like Harry's longing for his parents, I think Voldemort 
would strongly dislike, degrade, and perhaps even fear this mirror. 
(What if it showed him being molly-cuddled in Merope's arms? <g>).

Having said that, I'll try to look at it from the other way:   what 
if the mirror showed Voldemort in some event, which showed him to be 
the most powerful wizard of all times? Still I think Voldemort 
wouldn't like being captured in fantasy – it's too human to get 
comfort from imagination. When he "caught" himself in GoF telling 
Harry his family history, he sneered at himself for getting 
sentimental. And I can't remember Voldemort ever enjoying anything 
except power, coercion and again power. I can't imagine him 
listening to music, going to the theater, or enjoying anything which 
is not satisfying his hunger for power. I think Voldemort would 
despise the mirror, as a toy for weaklings. Or want to destroy it, 
since the mirror would feel to him like an object doing legilimency 
on him. I very much doubt he would entrust it with a horcrux, but
 
(And personally also don't like this idea
)

Only if he thought, the mirror was some way of showing the future; 
he would have given it some value. 

JMHO,

Orna
