oops, clicked send before i was ready again.  Anyway, i meant to also say 
this:

Have you ever seen _Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure_?  It's a very good 
movie, about time travel too.  Well, i never got this before... but now i 
do...  Near the end, Ted is about to be caught, so he says to himself 
"remember the trashcan"  and a trashcan falls on the guy's head.

So, the trashcan always fell on the guy's head, because ted remembered to go 
back in time and drop the can on his head.  The only way that Ted would have 
been caught by the guy would be if he *hadn't* remembered the trashcan, but 
then he wouldn't be able to go back in time anyway.

That made a lot more sense in my head.

Anyway, to apply this to HP (which i know you're all dying for me to...)  The 
only way Harry could have been kissed, is if he never went back in time.  
But, because he could go back in time, he knows that he was never kissed.

Right?
