Oh, Iris. Very interesting. Miror of Erised as time-travel device?

Since I do think that time travel will play important role in the
future plot and yes that Harry may attempt to go to GH, why not? It
will be certainly easier to use than Time-Turner which needs to eb
turned A LOT to go back that far.

You know, in one of the chates the answer to the question "Will
Harry be time traveling again", the answer was "Not telling". Hmmm.

This is very interesting! Months ago I posted a theory involving 
Harry being at GH (after a dream I had).  At that time I posted that 
Harry might be confused for James at GH. Every book makes a reference 
regarding the physical similarities between Harry and James--except 
for the eyes. Someone who knew James intimately (wife, friends, 
Snape) would know that Harry was not James. But what about Voldemort? 

What if the voice at GH that Harry presumes to be of his father is 
really his own? Remember that Harry hears this voice during PoA when 
he is 13 years old. His voice would certainly be different at 18 
years of age. (Harry already made this mistake during PoA when he 
thought that his father conjured the patronus. Is he doing it again?) 
And why doesn't he call his mother mom instead of Lily you say? Well, 
he can't really let anyone know what his true identity is, can he?    
Announcing that he is the grown up Harry Potter would be confirmation 
of time-travel meddling. This would be a big mistake. That's all 
Dumbledore needs is for Voldemort to know what he has been up to.
