I see your point. The portraits already make death a bit odd though.
And it is possible that Draught of the Living Death is needed to speak
with the dead, even when the mirror is used. I think JKR could manage
to use the mirrors while making it clear that once someone is gone
they do not return and that what is neceaary to speak with the dead is
onerous, if not even dangerous, and needs to be done only in an
emergency. All just guesswork of course.

Abergoat wrotes:

Snape is the odds-on favorite. Petunia did not want to take Harry,
Dumbledore made the perfectly clear in OotP. I suspect Petunia
overheard something that makes her vulnerable to Voldemort (she
learned something that Voldemort would like to know). A few of us
think that Petunia overheard the 'awful boy' planning to enter the
Death Eaters as a spy for Dumbledore's side...or simply to kill
Voldemort in revenge for something that was done, possibly to the
boy's family. 

Which brings us back to the Dog Lady at St. Mungo's and the question
as to whether she is a horcrux victim and whether she is related to
Snape. Clearly I do not have any takers on the idea ;)
