Cheers Nicky Joe! It IS twisted, horrible logic - but what's most disturbing is 
how many millions of people don't mind one little bit! No joke, I was starting to 
think it was just me. There's been so many straw-clutching theories dreamed 
up on the formal topic pages, all of which can be summed up in one sentence 
- "JKR can do no wrong". Well she can and she did, in this instance. I like the 
books more or less, but the TT was a mistake to introduce, and wasn't even 
incorporated properly into the story. Harry can't save himself from a fate 
worse than death, because he needed to survive it in the first place in order 
to go back through time to save himself. That doesn't work! How many times 
do people need something so simple spelling out?

Sandra, feeling much better for having said that.
