Please, I have absolutely no idea where anyone gets the notion that
time travel has been overextended in the story.

It sounds to me like personal bias.

Now don't get me wrong, I *am* biased in favour of more timeturning
because I have a scientific and adventurous mind. I don't mind a
challenging paradox myself, its good exercise for me. Frankly, the
excellence that JKR put into creating the timeturned paradox
sequence *did* leave me thirsting for more. But I am not posting on
behalf of that at all, I promise.

I just want to know how so little can be too much all of a sudden?

I agree with you Valky.  My original comment was not against time-
travel, but a side remark that I hope that the reason why Lupin 
became a were-wolf had nothing to do with time-travel.

Although I've never liked time-travel stories in the past, I do like 
the way JKR has handled it in the series. In fact, most of the time-
travel theories posted around here are from me. 

I have found, though, that people get very upset when you start 
talking about time-travel. I've even had people email insults to me 
directly, telling me that I should not post about it. (I've also had 
people who emailed me with support by the way.)

I don't know what the big deal is but people really freak out when it 
comes to time-travel. What's funny is that you and I didn't insert 
the idea into the series, JKR did.
