I agree that there are lots of inconsistencies in the book, but I don't
think Sirius's mirror is one of them. Aberforth buying the mirror is
not a theory, it's from the book. Harry saw the mirror at "Hog's Head"
and Aberforth told him he bought it from Dung (p.559-560).

    Good catch!  I missed that.  I need some help with another question.
We know that Dumbledore was far from perfect, but apparently was 
accepted into
the misty afterlife, as was James, a bully as a kid, and Sirius who 
nearly caused a murder.
So was Snape acceptable?  Did he presumably "go on" to the afterlife?  
What about Peter?
We don't see a whole cluster of damaged souls at the "station", just 
Voldie's soul.  One would
assume that if Voldemort could not pass, presumably the other "bad guys" 
couldn't pass either.
Is there another station for bad people?  Why would the bad ones go on 
the same as the good ones
(must have been a Hell of a lineup up there)?  Was that only for Harry's 
benefit, which in that case would
seem to discount the impression of an afterlife?  Somebody take a shot 
at explaining this, please.
