bboyminn:

I agree, I don't think the mirror will be used to 
communicate with the dead or with Sirius beyond the Veil.

I suspect if Harry wants to communicate with Sirius, he'll
just go to the Veil, pull the curtain back and shout 'Sirius,
you in there?'. 

As Carol says, I suspect it will be used for more mundane
purposes. Perhaps for Harry to communicate with Ginny but
more likely for Order members, or perhaps just Harry's 
friends to communicate in with each other.

I suspect at some point the need to communicate discretely
will occur and Harry will think of the Mirror. Perhaps he
will even find the matching mirror at The Black House, and
get the idea to make more. I suspect it will have to be
Hermoine who researches the matter and makes new mirrors.

Though, it seems like it might be a distraction more than
anything, I can see the DE's trying to capture the school.
I've said before that it is an extreme strategic target.
If you control the school then you control the students,
and if you control the sons and daughters, you surely 
control the parents. Voldemort could try to hold the 
school as a way of blackmailing the wizard world into 
surrender. If Ginny is at school and has a com-mirror,
she could assist Harry in his inevitable rescue attempt.

bboyminn:

Of course this is one of may favorite theories. I agree
that regardless of how it plays out, Sirius going beyond
the Veil with his body intact is going to be important.
The more I think about it, the more I believe that Sirius
very unique passing was intentional on JKR's part. At
first, I thought it was merely a metaphor for how fleeting
and fragile life is, but now I'm convinced that somehow
Sirius's death (or passing) was unique and that it is 
important to the greater story.

Just a few thoughts.
