There is an ongoing discussion between Severusboo4 and Carolyn White 
about whether Hermione used the time-turner other than for attending 
class. Severusbook4 thinks she does:

> Pg. 395-396 PoA US softback
> 
> "I'd never, ever use it for anything except my studies...I've been 
turning it back so I 
> could do hours over again, that's how I've been doing several 
lessons at once, see?"
> 
> Hermione is using the word "studies" indicating homework, and then 
uses the word 
> "lessons" again to indicate classes. 

Constance Vigilance (me): I'm going to jump in here an disagree with 
Sev. I think Hermione is using the word "studies" to 
mean "education". If she had meant studying, as in homework, I think 
she would have used the British term "revising". I have to agree with 
Carolyn and say that I think Hermione is using the timeturner only 
for attending simulaneous lessons, and is using her own time for 
homework and studying.
