It has been a long time since I have read this book but I would say the moral of the Mirror of Erised is to not dwell on the past. To not focus on what you do not have and instead to focus on what you do have and make the most of it. Harry was so intrigued by seeing his family in the mirror that he no longer accepted that he was an orphan and Dum bledore had to put an end to it. Instead of dwelling on desires, make the most of what you already have.
Hope this helps! If you need any more help or further explanation just let me know! :)

Answer:
The allusion in this passage and its interpretation is "Thousands are ushered into the world"; although some slaves have white fathers, they are still lineal descendants of Ham and should remain slaves.
Explanation:
This allusion makes reference to the biblical curse over Ca'naan, where it says "And he said, Cursed be Ca'naan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren." this says that generation after generation the sons are cursed to be under the demands of their "owners" due to the lack of respect of Ca'naan towards his father.
