It is the pardox of time travel, that everyone is talking about 
here.  If time is prewritten and everyone is just folowing along 
their predesigned pathways then Harry and Hermione were meant to 
save Harry, Sirius and Buckbeak by using the time turner, since it 
was predestined.  Now if you subscribe to the thought that we choose 
our own destines and nothing is prewritten, then Harry and Hermione 
chose their own pathway and decided to save Harry, Buckbeak, and 
Sirius.  In either situation, no one is living on borrowed time and 
death is not looking for the best opportunity to take them and set 
things right.  See where I am coming from?  If everything was 
predestined and they weren't supposed to use the time turner, then 
Harry and Sirius would be dead, because it wasn't written that Harry 
and Hermione used the time turner.  Butt since they did then it must 
have been destined.  Same goes for choosing our own destiny train of 
thought.  Harry and Hermione chose to save them from certain death, 
by using the time turner.
