Nasty thought - Harry's destiny PoA

I was re-reading PoA recently and during Harry and Hermione's Time - 
Turner shenanigans a thought occurred to me. I haven't been reading 
the 'hints that Sirius would die' posts (still not over it:) so 
forgive me if this has already been brought up. Anyhoo, we know that 
it is against one of the strictest Wizarding laws to go back and 
alter time - it simply should not be done unless under very 
safe/strict circumstances. Harry and Hermione should not have by 
rights been using it, thus, Sirius was destined to die. He was 
supposed to die that night at the hands (sorry, mouth ;) of the 
Dementors. The fact that he was saved by Harry simply meant that he 
was essentially living on borrowed time; two years of it to be 
precise.

So, whilst I was congratulating myself on my linkage I realised - 
who else was supposed to die that night? Who else was about to be 
kissed? Harry. Harry is also living on time that, by rights, 
shouldn't be his. Is his time also going to run out soon?

I admit, in light of the prophecy this does get confusing. It could 
be argued that Harry could not be killed by the Dementors or the 
fact that Harry had the opportunity to save himself shows that the 
circumsatnce just wont arise where he could be killed by anyone 
other than Lord Thingy. I really don't want to get bogged down in 
that too much as I think, in any case, this may just be a big, nasty 
pointer as to whether Harry is going to survive the final showdown. 
Someone tell me I wrong!
