DoM question. Why write about a device that can reverse aging.

Just a question I have. Why would JKR write about a way that can 
reverse time in people (the DE that turned into baby head DE)?

Is she planning on using this at the end of the series on someone?
Will someone get another chance at a new life with a new family?

Or is there someone in the series that was time turned?   

Could Voldemort die at the end of book seven leaving the remains of 
Tom Riddle, still clinging to life--by a thread?  Will Tom be turned 
into a baby and given a second chance?  

What if an older character is time turned and revealed to be actually 
someone else? 

What if Fred and George are the Prewett brothers that were turned 
back to babies and taken in by Molly?

Will someone be seriously injured and time-turned back to a baby?

Or is this time-turning device an analogy JKR is using to give a clue 
about something else?

It just seems like a strange device to introduce if it's not going to 
play a future role in the series.
