Dumbledore

Harry has no personal contact with Dumbledore until he is caught in the forbidden room where the Mirror of Erised stands. Why does this first close contact with Dumbledore occur in the mirror room? Is the situation more important than just a routine rule violation by a naughty student? If so, how?

I think Harry had found the mirror not knowing the danger but being pulled in because he so wanted to be with his parents. Dumbledore had to teach Harry about the dangers of the mirror but also about what it does because he knows that Harry will need that information to keep Valdemort and Professor Quirrell from getting the Sorcerer's Stone at the end of the book.
