Time-turner discussion

[chncprmly]

I would imagine 
there has been some discussion about that idea previously, so if 
there has, and someone cares to share the condensed version of it 
with me, I'd appreciate it.   
Thanks,

Chancie:
There was actually a discusion about this earlier today on the main 
list here is basicly what has been posted this far on it.

SSSusan asked:
Is it the general consensus that a person can TT 
to a moment *before* he was even born **and then perform some action 
which changes events**?  Not like in PoA, when H/H simply time-turn 
to a point w/in the same day?  Could Harry go back 25 years, to when 
he was "minus-10"??

It doesn't really make since to me that there would be time limits on 
the TT, but the only thing about not having limits is, why don't they 
just use it to kill Tom Riddle when he's a baby so that no one has to 
suffer from the things that he will do if given the chance.  It would 
seem like the easiest fix for the whole situation.  Harry's parent's 
would still be alive, Hagrid wouldn't have been framed, and 
expelled.  Cedric wouldn't have been Killed.  Neville's parent's 
would still be sane.  Sirius would still be alive....well I think 
I've made my point.  But then again if none of these things happened 
then there wouldn't be much of a story either huh....  The only thing 
I guess that can solve this is JKR answering it for us.  But then 
maybe something like this will happen in the end.  When asked in a 
chat if the TT will be back her answer was "NOT TELLING!"  
Just a thought
