Best Answer

The Mirror of Erised, which is desire spelled backwards, shows your heart's greatest desire. Dumbledore explains that the happiest man in the world would see his own reflection. Whereas, Harry Potter who wanted a family that loved and cared for him, saw his entire family (minus the Dursleys).

He tells Harry what the mirror does and then tells him it will be moved to a new home and that he shouldn't go looking for it because "it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live".
