I originally read it as, 'I DOUBT you have', but now that you mention
it, 'I know you have' makes more sense and is certainly more heart
wrenching.

As far as Neville being TimeTurned!Dumbledore, or would that be
Dumbledore is TimeTurned!Neville? I'm pretty sure just a few weeks ago
a large contingent of posters thoroughly established (at least in
their own minds) that Dumbledore was really TimeTurned!Ron who went
back in time to do something or save someone or whatever, and is now
living his way into the future, guiding Harry with the personal
knowledge he gained as Ron, or something like that.

I find it hard to believe there will be any more time turning in the
story. I think that card has been played. Any other uses of Time
Travel would be a little too easy as a solution for anything, both
from a quality of writing perspective, and from an effective narrative
function; it would be the easy way out. 

JKR seems avoid using magic as the solution for everything which she
could have easily done, but she probably wouldn't have sold any books.
 So I think as far as time travel goes; been there, done that. 

I confess that if JKR does use time travel again, I'm sure my head
will explode.

Just a thought.
