In other words, your theory has little to do with time-travel. Is 
your theory, then, that Harry's patronus *didn't* ward off the 
Dementors? Whilst Harry really saw the Patronus from both sides of 
the lake it was Snape that saved him. He saw the Patronus- with his 
inexperienced magical mind thought 'a Patronus is the only thing 
which could ward off a Dementor.' (But Snape stopped the Dementors 
without a Patronus). Then he cast the Patronus- with his 
inexperienced magical mind thinking 'this is the Patronus- the only 
things which can ward off Dementors. I am saving you all!' (But Snape 
stopped the Patronus without a Patronus).

Nothing was changed at all, then! Snape saved Harry all along.

In this instance Snape would have full memory of the entire incident!

So, whilst I've been bickering with you about Time-Travel- you theory 
doesn't require the use of *any* form of time-travel at all! All you 
need is Snape to stop a hundred Dementors without anyone noticing! ;-)

Who is very happy now, because whether or not she believed that Snape 
*could* ward off a hundred Dementors without a Patronus was never a 
part of her contribution to this discussion.
