time line. If you'll remember, when Harry and Hermione went back, 
they were still able to witness the actions they had already 
performed at an earlier time line. In this sense, the time turner 
could only be used to witness Sirius' death again. If you are 
talking about using the time turner to go back and warn Sirius not 
to go, or even Harry to keep his cool, that would create a paradox, 
something that has already been warned against.
