Maria again:
You know, I had to reread this again to actually realize this! It was
MY sadness and MY feelings that I kind of reflected on Harry. You are
completely right, his first thought was to talk to Sirius, while I was
left wondering over and over what would have happened if he had not
forgotten the gift from Sirius.

Sorry I missed the point, everyone, but I think it also brought some
nice insights into the mirror which I had not thought about.
