I really don't think that time travel will be involved. It would take
a *very* long time to turn a time turner over enough times to go back
over 60. . close to 70 years. (the chamber was opened 50 years
previous to their 2nd year and Riddle was 16). And in POA we learned
it took 1 turn to go back 1 hour.
That's over 600,000 turns. Plus Harry would have to "live" those 70
years over in order to get back to the present.
No I think that Voldemort's defeat will take place in the present and
its a good possiblity that the room at the M.O.M. that is always kept
locked might play a part in it.

Glad to see you recall the MoM rooms. There was also the time room
which appearred to have many different "objects" related to time.
You are innocently assuming that the only time turners to exist are
similar to Hermione's-that goes back one hour for one turn-but with a
room full of time objects, its likely they could have one which jumps
10 years at a time-so 6-7 turns would do it.
Now, having said that, I really do not think JKR will write
another "Terminator" where we travel back in time to prevent or
change the life of the villain so everything will be right. I could
be wrong-only "TIME" and JKR will tell.
