As long as you keep firmly in mind that things happen only
once and that events that has happened stays happened (i.e.
that you can't change the past) then there is no problem.

There's an entry on this problem in the Pottverse FAQ at
Hogwarts Library:

<http://www.hogwarts-library.net/reference/potterverse_faq.html#time_travel>

(Yes, I did write that myself - it doesn't prevent me
from thinking that it is actually a good analysis ;-)
