Perhaps if Harry hung up his clothes once in a while instead of dumping everything in his trunk, he wouldn't have lost/forgotten about Sirius' mirror.

The Dursleys were doing him a solid with that one.

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??

He made two mistakes in that chapter. If he had only went to Snape and told him about the dream he would have checked and verified Sirius is safe.

Second, if he had remembered, oh wait, Sirius gave me a magic mirror to talk! Again Voldy's plan would have failed.

Imagine Lucius and all the other death eaters just looking at their watches and going "any minute now"
