To fight a battle that can never be won indeed. Dumbledore vanquishes
(nice word) Grindewald and who should take his place but Voldemort.
Harry will vanquish Voldemort; to what avail to Harry we can't be
sure. So, who is next for the position? Draco would be a good
candidate except for his coward type behavior (although even a dark
lord has their Achilles heal, that's why they surround themselves
with as many followers as they can acquire). But, even if it's not
Draco then it is pretty much inevitable that someone will indeed
take his place. I'm certain the evil will go on. You can vanquish the
evil person from the world but you can't protect the world from evil.

What if DD through his time travel escapades is changing history
continuously. (What I am suggesting is a timeline where events are
not fixed but changeable.) When I read Kathy's post a sudden thought
occured to me: What if Ron goes back in time to defeat the bad guy --
he goes back and defeats Grindewald, but somebody else takes his
place (Voldemort). I'm not talking about possession. What I'm saying
is that evil cannot be wiped out. There is always somebody ready to
step in and take over where someone left off. What if DD is
unknowingly changing the course of other peoples lives (not just
Harry's). What if his timeline tampering has actually changed other
peoples lives for the worse.

What if DD trusts someone in the Order (at present time) because he
was able to the first time around, when he was Ron; but because of
his timeline meddling, this person's life experiences have changed
dramatically and they can no longer be trusted?

For example: Let's say Grindewald was responsible for the death of
Snape's dad (if DD did not defeat G). Would Snape's sad childhood
have been different? What if his mother had remarried? What if
Snape's stepdad would have loved him, and been the greatest guy in
the world?
(I don't believe this scenario. I'm just saying that DD is not only
affecting Harry's life, but he is inadvertently changing other
peoples lives as well. He may be creating new villians.)
