It gives a context for the kind of time we are dealing with.

It is not only Snape's face,  It is the tts at MoM. Two Time clues 
in a book, when we didn't know if they were going to appear again. 
I hope TTravel is not used, but the tts were there.

In the it happened because it happened way, MoM Time use rules are 
pretty naive. If the rules to use a tt is don't change things and 
don't let you be seen/noticed, I find that quite a number of not so 
honest/Griffindor minds might understand them the other way.

Because if I don't know something (as H didn't know Buckbead was 
dead) I can activate the tt. If it functions, as I actually can't 
change the timeline, it means I always did, there was never a point 
when the timeline didn't include my travel, so I justify my own 
actions.

It gives me the chills if Voldie actually put his hands on a tt 
during the MoM assault and we are going with the 'it happened once' 
Time treatment.

By the 'it happened twice' theory, as you both point out, if memory 
records only the facts the 'victim' knows, because the first set is 
erased, you'd better be careful when you Time Travel, or you will 
erase your own memory, not speaking of unexpected changes.
