charme:

I sort of agree with Jill, I think. I've often also thought someone (maybe 
Hagrid?) went back to the house and picked through things so the "pleesemen" 
didn't find them.  I wonder if the mirrors worked by first name (James, 
Sirius) or by Marauder name (Prongs, Padfoot.) Maybe this is how we see 
Sirius again?

Speculation only....
