Well, except for the Patronus, those are all movie occurances, but then
they're the same type of paradox. And that's what they are. A Time paradox.
You can go mad contemplating it and my sincerest advice is to just accept it
as it is.

P.S. If you, however, enjoy going mad while contemplating time travel, I
recommend dropping by the book store and buying The Anubis Gate by Tim
Powers.
