time and as the young adult Harry, duel with Voldemort to prevent his 
parents death, thus re-writing his own future?  There would be no 
Dursley's to contend with, Sirius wouldn't die, he'd grow up with his 
parents, etc.  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.

I don't think that JKR would have Harry go back in time like this.  
She's pretty well established that messing with time is tricky 
business and you have to be very careful not to screw things up.  If 
Harry went back and saved his parents, his life growing up would have 
been COMPLETELY different.  He wouldn't have had chance to battle 
with evil so many times while growing up and get good at it.  And as 
a consequence, when he was old enough to go back in time and fight 
Voldemort, he wouldn't know how.  ~jenn
