<< You're mixing your theories, there.  If you mean what the
 single-timeline theorists mean by "9:00 PM only happens once,"
 you can't then turn around and say "the events taking place at
 9:00 change."

Of course I don't mean it, but the phrase is correct, 9:00 PM only 
happens once, I'm using more or less the same theory that Asimov 
describes in 'End of Eternity', what I say is, if you write a 
straight line as the timeline, there is only one point that can be 
labeled as 9:00 PM, so it onlu happens twice. There is only 
containment for a set of events. The set can be changed. The set of 
events include "Harry and Hermione experience 9-12 PM twice that 
night". It's common in time travel to have people overstepping 
themselves. Multiple instances of individuals, isn't it?

<<then you are contradicting the "one linear unbiased neutral 
timeline" premise.  There is no way to display both "instances" on 
"one linear unbiased neutral timeline" >>

I understand a linear, one timeline,  as time being a dimension that 
can be represented in the x axis, so there is only one 9:00 PM. 
Nothing prevents you from going twice though the axis, or for 
changing the function to adapt to reality if events in the single 
timeline have changed.

It is neutral and unbiased. It is only a timeline.

<<True.  Fortunately, he was not dementorized.  Do we at any time 
see a dementorized Harry?  Nope.  We see him saved from the 
dementors just in time.  >>

Of course. Because we only read the second set of facts.
