The sixth book continues the themes from the enchantments protecting 
the PS in the first book.

Each charm (in order) that guarded the Stone has so far been related 
to the plot in each book.  

1. The 3 headed dog 
The trio meet and become loyal friends
 
2. Plant:  the devils snare
mandrake plants save those who were petrified by the basilisk
 
3. Keys	
Harry & Hermione free Sirius
 
4. Chess Game 
Tri-Wizard Tournament
 
5. Unconscious Troll - Quirrel/Mort defeated the troll
Professor Umbridge had no conscious and the Centaurs defeated her 
for the kids  (This was not my idea but sorry, I forgot who 
suggested this one.  I posted this before Book 6 and this one 
stumped me but someone posted this and I thought it made perfect 
sense.)

6. Potions 
Snape's potion for DD & Snape's potion book (HBP)

7. THE MIRROR	
That leaves only a mirror to be an important part of Book 7.
The Mirror of Erised?  Sirus' mirror?  Yet unknown mirror?  All of 
the above?

I continue to be amazed with JKR's detailed planning for the 
series.  A great lesson to teach children to plan and graph before 
writing.
