Well, instead of Fawkes, maybe the foe-glass will demonstrate to Harry
at some point that a certain person is not his enemy... maybe Snape,
or Draco, or (choke) even Pettigrew?  Or maybe Harry will see someone
he didn't expect to see, like Lupin, or Tonks, or... McGonagall. 
That's all I can think of, assuming the foe-glass resurfaces and
performs its function as specified. I don't know if the crack is
significant or not.

Perhaps it has already served its function, however, of showing that
Snape and Harry are, for whatever reason, on the same side against
Voldemort and his followers.

Or maybe it's a horcrux!
