I unfortunately have to discount the idea of TimeTurning!DD (cute, 
eh?) because he is so sad (crying) at the end of OotP that one would 
supect that he'd have 'turned' to affect those events, most likely by 
skipping back to be at the MoM at the same time as past self was 
conversing with Kreacher. If DD had ready access to timetravel, he 
would not have delayed that much in getting to what appeared to be an 
impending faceoff between Harry and LV.

I've always been rather interested in why DD, after 10 years of 
suspecting LV was still 'alive', suddenly decides to snatch the stone 
from Gringotts, where we presume it has been all along, except when 
needed by Flamel on occasion. The answer, I think, comes at the end 
of CoS. DD reveals to Harry that his sources have told him that LV 
has been hiding in Albania (spreading the cheer with Mom so no books 
handy). What sources? Perhaps DD has had tabs on LV all this time?

Again, the secret may lie in CoS. Harry's Hogwarts letter not only 
happens to find him at he Burrow, but it has been delivered by Errol 
(not the fastest owl in the world). Again, it might seem that 
Dumbledore has extra tabs on Harry, and thus realized the moral peril 
Harry was facing. He might have flown to London, but coming back was 
probably apparition or portkey.
