No - GoF was released in June 2000, more than a year before the 9/11 
attacks.

Harry's CoS time-turning took him to 1943 - the young Tom Riddle 
could have known Hitler, but it seems unlikely. At any rate, the 
Riddle back story as given in HBP shows that Hitler could have only 
been a minimal influence at best. Anyway, why would Tom Riddle of all 
people get carrried away by someone's else's - especially a Muggle 
else's - delirium of PureBloodedness?
