Potioncat:
I used to be better at this, but I cannot find the quote I want. JKR 
has something along the line of the mirror being more useful, and 
less useful than we expect. Personally, I think even if Sirius had 
the mirror on  him and went on to the next life, he's beyond Harry's 
reach. Perhaps Harry will use the broken shards of the mirror for 
communication in this life between Hermione, Ron and himself.

I think Luna was correct that their loved ones 'live' in that other 
world and they will be reunited one day---but in the afterlife, not 
this one. This is partly opinion and partly based on JKR's comments 
about life and death.

Potioncat:
My money is on Snape too. The fact that he is a Half-blood and would 
have been comfortble in Muggle areas makes all the more likely in my 
mind.  Comfort being a relative term, of course.

Welcome, Argus Pyrites! I hope you enjoy our madness.
