Jen: Ah, another little moment where Sirius sees James when he looks 
at Harry. That's a sad thought if true, that for Sirius the events 
of OOTP resembled schoolboy pranks instead of life and death 
situations. 

Or else it was truly the only way Sirius could think to communicate 
with Harry, given the constraints of Harry's training and the 
protection on Hogwarts.

Jen: Well, now we know Dumbledore and the Order have more effective 
ways to communicate since JKR wrote about that on her website. But 
she hints the two-way mirror will have a second wind in upcoming 
books. I guess the big question is: Who has the second mirror? 
Surely Sirius didn't fall through the Veil with it. I doubt when he 
heard Harry was in trouble, Sirius bothered trying to find his two-
way mirror to take with him.

Jen, speculating Kreacher is in possession of the two-way mirror or 
he gave it to the Malfoys.
