A bit late, but never mind; maybe you'll read the back posts and
find out just how many have said the same thing.

But not very many of those subscribe to this Time Travel perversion.

The one stone cold blocker on all these TT theories:_
Why is all the action *now* when all the preliminaries, foundations, original
acts happened  way back *then*?

Why hasn't Voldy already been sorted? What's the delay? Hasn't DD/Ron
already had 50 years to sort out the Tom Riddle problem? And 15 years
to sort out the Voldy problem? Or perhaps he forgot to wind his watch.
It's no  good having TT if you don't use it,  and I see no point in DD
allowing who knows how many to die when a little judicious TT would
prevent it. It's the equivalent to allowing Harry to die by the Lake,
something that did not happen because it was preventable *at the time*.
But TT was used and the result is there is only one timeline for what
happened at the Lake; at no time did Harry get taken by the Dementors.
It seems to me your theory requires 2 separate over-lapping timelines.
I won't accept that as a reasonable plot wrinkle. If JKR tries that I'll be 
sending a *very* nasty letter enclosing a torn-up book to Scotland.

Vivid imagination. But it ain't gonna happen, we both know that.
'Cos Ron is, to put it mildly, an intellectual lightweight verging on 
half-wit.
Ron? Become DD? Yeah, and Trevor is Godric Gryffindor.
Ron will be bloody lucky if he survives to the  end of the series.

As yet I  haven't bothered writing many posts about the kids in the
books, mostly because they aren't as interesting as the adults. Frankly,
who the hell cares what a teenager thinks? Assuming that they think at 
all, which is not something one can take for granted. But maybe I should
cast my beady eye over a few of these post-adolescent wonders with an 
in-depth analysis or two.

Right; make a note, "As soon as the Olympics are over and before the 
Ryder Cup starts, have a good look at these irritating little squits."
