Here's why the time turner stinks.

Presuming there isn't only one time turner (and if there is, why does
McGonnegel have it?) then why doesn't Lord Voldemort have one?

Or better yet, why hasn't Dumbledore or someone else gone back and killed
pre-powerful Voldemort?

I know the whole "time turner is powerful magic and you mustn't misuse it"
but that's hooey -- McGonnegel gave it to Hermione to affect future events
(Hermione's education), and Dumbledore allowed Harry to use it to change
just happened events (Harry's death by kissing -- now there's a death!). So
if it's ok to let Harry save himself from the dementor, surely it would be
ok to turn back time when Voldy starts making his
killing-you-all-I-am-evil-leader moves?

The more I think about the time-turner, the more the time turner stinks.
