This whole thing is a relatively simple piece if temporal mechanics 
(which areminds based on thge concpet on linear time have a very hard 
time understanding, just like Quantum mechanics).

Basically it cause coming after effect (and this is perfectly 
possible, try to think of time as another dimension in space).

Harry is saved because he saves himself, because he is saved he can 
them save himself. There is no - how did he manage it the first time, 
because there was no first time. i.e. When he Harry 2 saves Harry1 
this is the only courtse of events that can happen.

'm know its confusing, but the easy way to think of it is to detach 
time from the equation. All things are happning at the same time and 
so he never has to 'find a wayround it' because he has and always 
will save himself.
