"Mithraism was similar to Christianity in many respects, for example, in the ideals of humility and brotherly love, baptism, the rite of communion, the use of holy water, the adoration of the shepherds at Mithra's birth, the adoption of Sundays and of December 25 (Mithra's birthday) as holy days, and the belief in the immortality of the soul, the last judgment, and the resurrection. Mithraism differed from Christianity in the exclusion of women from its ceremonies and in its willingness to compromise with polytheism. The similarities, however, made possible the easy conversion of its followers to Christian doctrine" ("Mithraism," Microsoft (R) Encarta. Copyright (c) 1994 Microsoft Corporation.

But my point was that did DaVinci actually use the Last Supper to eventualy reveal that there is this actual connection?

Easily answered: no.
As far as I know, Jesus was not hatched from an egg (as Horus was), Jesus' mother was not married to a god (like Horus' mother), Jesus' mother was not a goddess who brought her husband back to life and gave him wooden sexual organs, Jesus never had his right eye stabbed out by his uncle, Jesus never had a homosexual relationship with his uncle, and Jesus doesn't sail around the sky in a huge boat after dark, fighting a world snake.
Horus had millions of followers, was never baptized, was never tempted by any demon -- and most importantly, Horus never died.
