Thank you, Tara, I couldn't agree more. Although it's fun to come up
with weird, elaborate plot lines sometimes, they are highly unlikely
to end up in the books, and so we should stick to the _likely_ stories
when trying to predict what's going to happen. The dead are and will
stay dead. As for time travel, as we have seen, there is not much one
can do in the past. Hermione said in the chapter where they used the
time-turner with Harry: "We are breaking one of the most important
wizarding laws. No one is supposed to change time." (I don't have my
book here so I can't check the exact wording or the page) I think this
states it quite plainly: there's nothing we can do about what's gone.
And anyway, I don't think it would be possible to use a time-turner to
travel back many years. Would the time-traveller have to live all that
time twice?

Sorry, but I just want to point out again that time-travel will be 
back, period.  And DD has time-travelled himself.  Although I don't 
believe that JKR is going to use time travel to save Harry's parents, 
I do think that TT is going to turn up again.  That's my story, and 
I'm sticking to it!

Book 7 ends with:  the scar.  I bet it's about DD's scar.
