Is time changing or are people changing in time?

I woke up this morning with an epiphany so I'm replying to my own post!

The time meter (DD's pocket watch) works like this:

The planets tell sideral time.

2 hands tell time of day (hours and minutes).

2 hands point year and month in the Gregorian calendar (our current).

2 hands point year and month in the Gregorian calendar before the reform
(VIIIX).

2 hands point year and month in the Julian calendar.

4 hands are adjustable to travel in time (It's a time turner! It's a time
turner!): adjust to time of day, day, month and year (in sideral time) and
it takes you there... I mean... then! The planets and other hands then
adjust, allowing you to tell time whenever you are!



By the way, It's not just the vomit flavored Bernie Bott Bean. Did anyone
else notice that one of the examiners in OotP had examined DD in his
transfiguration NEWT? If DD is 150, how old is the examiner? 200?

If DD had been born in the 1920's he could have tasted the vomit flavored
Bernie Bott Bean in the 1930's, then been examined by a 50 years old
examiner (now 110) in the early 1940's. After that he went back (or forward)
in time because I don't believe he was around 18 when he defeated
Wizard-Hitler in 1945.

If he was born in the 1920's he had 80 extra years to travel through time.

Which brings another question to my mind: where was Tom/Voldy between
leaving school and returning so changed that very few recognized him?

Or should I ask *when* was he? (Salazar's ancestor anyone?)
