Casey responds:
My only issue is that Time Travel can be used too easily to right
something. To do something and go back and erase everything that
happened. Use the Time Turner to go back and protect Lupin, or James
and Lilly, or even go back and make sure Baby Riddle is adopted into
a loving home so that he doesn't turn out evil.
I'm not saying that this is what JK plans, but it's why I get a knee
jerk reaction to time travel. Guess I've watched too many poorly
written Star Trek episodes.
