Abergoat offers:
I've heard some talk that if Sirius went through the veil with the
mirror then Harry may be able to get advice for the land of the dead.
JKR suggested the mirror might be used again and she also suggests it
wouldn't have been helpful before but it might now - the difference
being before Harry just didn't want to let go of Sirius, now he needs
information on horcruxes and moral support to go forward.
