According to PoA, there are *lots* of rules regarding time travelling, the most 
important one probably being that no one has the right to change anything in time. 
Going back to save Buckbeak in PoA, Harry and Hermione didn't break any rules, 
because Buckbeak wasn't killed the first time around. They were *supposed* to be 
there, like Harry realised when he saw himself do the Patronus. So since the use of 
Time Turners is so restricted, they are probably not that common either, and the DEs 
maybe didn't even have access to one. And there is always that thing with by simply 
stepping on a plant in the past, you might destroy a future forest... changing things 
with time travelling is dangerous, you never know what small actions that could do 
terrible damage.
OK, I'll stop rambling... it's all Donald Duck trivia anyway. ;)
