>>>>I've read a bunch of people posting this theory since I've 
joined. I respectfully, disagree. I'm at work so I don't have my 
books, but my sole reason is this.

In PS/SS when HRH go in search of the stone DD takes off for 
London. He later tells Harry that he got all the way to London 
before he decided to turn around and come back to the school. 
He also tells Harry that he arrived just in time to save him. 

IMHO, If DD were Ron, DD would know how close it was for 
Harry and never would have gone all the way to London. Ron 
wouldn't put Harry in that much danger.<<<<


But that's a typical time paradox - DD!Ron would have gone to 
London without any worries, because he already knew that 
everything was going to be okay and that him going away was 
needed in order to get rid of Quirrelmort.

The Barty Crouch affair works in a similar vein - Ron would never 
see any necessity to go back in time if Voldemort wasn't 
resurrected. In fact all of DD's omniscience and impotence - he 
know that Riddle is evil, but doesn't do anything etc - can be 
explained as Ron's attempt to *not* alter history until it is 
needed.
