I wouldn't go quite that far but I will say that I would have high
expectations for time-travel if it comes back into the plot again. 
The POA usage was fine because there was a lot of tension built into
the action (will they make it back to the hospital wing in time?), we
were learning how it actually worked (come again, Hermione?) and
there was a major plot development (Harry can make a darn good
patronus and it looks like his dad!).  

But it's a little too "deus ex machina" for my tastes and after the
Grawp rescue in OOTP (which was an EXACT duplicate of the Flying Ford
Anglia saving the kids from the spiders at the last minute in CoS)
I'm afraid I'm going to have to see proof that it's not just a matter
of "oops we're in a jam better pull out the time turner and save our
butts!".
