Time-turners

*I suppose the quick plot answer would be that there is a time  
limitation and you could not spin it 30,000 times to go back 10+  
years (no attempt on my part to do the math - if you want to, have  
fun).  

~87600 turns for ten 365 day years! (24 hours a day x 365 days a year 
x 10 years) (i used the computers calculator) add a couple of 24's 
for appropriate leap years and then you could always loose count!

But there may be a spell that could turn it a certain number of 
times, or there could be a more powerful version of the time turner 
(after all, Herm's was only for classes). But if this were possible 
someone would have already tried it, right? And there's the thing 
about how they would have to wait for their actual year to roll 
around again...

There's another issue as well, how would you feel going back to see 
what really happened at the Potters' house, having the opportunity to 
save their lives but not because of the implications and living with 
the knowlege that you could have prevented Harry becoming an orphan?
