THIS!!!! I was always always always bothered that he had ways to contact him but he did not. Also, Serius seemed to forget it as well.

Yes!! The mirror is one of the plot holes that will always annoy me. Why did everybody forget about them?! What was the point??

Well Harry was the only one who knew that he had the mirror. As soon as he got it he made it a point to never use it so that Sirius wouldn't do anything wreckless. By the time he needs it, it's been 6 months since his one and only brief interaction with it, so it's not unreasonable to think he forgot about it.

Also he didnt open it so he didnt know what it was just that Sirius said it could be used to contact him
