> Susan (teilani) reposnds in regard to Harry time-turning about 17 
years to GH:
Not that I don't secretly wish for this to happen, but I just don't 
see how it's possible!  At least, not with specifically a time-
turner.  How many times would you have to turn the thing just to 
hopefully arrive at the same spot?  Plus, if it was that easy to do, 
why didn't Harry just get a time-turner and flip it around a few 
times so that he could at least prevent Sirius' death?  That would  
have been much easier to do, had Harry done it immediately.  Plus, 
H/H used it to save him once, why not again?  I think if time 
travel's going to play a major role in the next two books, it will 
probably be through a different magical device/spell, rather than a 
time-turner, which seems to be for short trips rather than long ones.

But we saw in the DoM, in the Time Room, that Time Turners were only 
one of the time-manipulating devices available.  On this topic, I 
also latched onto this in the PoA movie * * * SPOILERS* * *

...Dumbledore's comment to Harry and Hermione just before he locks 
them, he says, "I find it always helps to retrace my steps" which to 
me, sounds like he's pretty much saying he's Time-turned before.  
Where?  When?  Why?  What happened?  I want to know all about his 
Time-turning experiences.  (And no, I don't buy the Ron/Dumbledore 
theory at all.)
