Time travel was a key in PoA, yes, but I don't really think you can
say it's key to the series. Of course, if your theory is correct you
then have to explain why Ollivander would sell two different wands to
the same person, how Harry could attend Hogwarts twice without looking
too old (since we know Tom went through all or mostly all of his
classes), not to mention why he'd try to kill himself. I prefer to
stick to more conventional theories.
