>>OOOOH! Thank you for clearing this up for me. I have been 
wondering for quite some time why they don't go back in time to fix 
other things, but now you've answered my question. JKR says that in 
the world of Harry Potter once you're dead you are really dead, so 
I'm assuming that they can not step back in time after a death to 
stop that death from occurring? 

The buckbeak thing causes confusion though, because of the timing. 
So did Buckbeak die, or not? They leave Hagrid's hut and later 
Dumbledore tells them they can save 2 innocent lives that day. Well, 
by that time Buckbeak had been dead for hours, so by going back in 
time did they bring Buckbeak back? Some will argue that Buckbeak 
never died because Harry and Hermione saved him, but how is that 
possible when they did not know to do this until later in the day?<<


  
Maybe they can stop a death if they go back the same day the person 
dies?  Even if JK said once you're dead, you're dead, maybe she'll 
put a loop in her own "law."  Maybe animals/creatures can be 
revived, but not humans/wizards or you can save them, so long as you 
go back the same day, using a time turner.  There are always 
excpetions to rules.  ;)
