I just had a couple of thoughts while reading other posts about the 
time travelling that sort of welding everything together in my mind. 
Rather than piecing all those posts together, I'll just try and make 
sense here.


Ill post my first thought on the subject here. Until tonight I had 
always read DDs line of (paraphrasing) "if all goes well, you can 
save more than one innocent life tonight" as referring to Buckbeak 
as the MORE than one. But now I realize that he had already planned 
to save Buckbeak and Sirius is the addition.

DD knew the hippogriff was to be exocuted. He knew when and where. 
So he must have planned to save Buckbeak before ever going to 
Hagrids hut. Thats how he knew the kids would be outside and tried 
to give them more time. Also how he seemed to know the future. 

I now think that rescuing Sirius was a spur of the moment plan as DD 
learned the truth. His thought could have been, "well, I am already 
sending the kids back to save Buckbeak so why not save TWO innocent 
lives rather than one?!"


To summarize that a little, DD planned to rescue Buckbeak before the 
events took place, but decided to rescue Sirius during the events.

Does that solve the omnicient DD puzzle and the time turning one?
