Depending on how you define the rules of time travel in the 
Porterverse, it might now be so much a choice but a necessity for him 
to go back. The "rules" as shown in the movie and the book are of a 
world where events are fixed and must occur. Harry saving himself at 
the lake is a good example. Since he was saved by a later himself, he 
had to perform the saving from the other side or he would cease to 
exist. The same applies to GH. If his intervention from the future 
set in motion the events at GH, he MUST go back to intervene again. 
Failure to do so would mean his death as a baby at GH and the success 
of LV at that time. I can see a scenario where he has defeated LV in 
the present (as of book 7) and then DD tells him that he must go back 
in time to let LV kill him at GH so everything occurs as it did.

Robert, I never thought of it that way, but it makes sense.  I wonder 
if the prophecy is being misread (that is if it's not a hoax 
altogether, but I digress). What if the prophecy is about Voldemort 
and both versions of Harry.  

"and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live 
while the other survives"  

Maybe this section is about baby Harry and 18 year old Harry.

Just a thought,

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...born 
to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month 
dies...and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have 
power the Dark Lord knows not...and either must die at the hand of 
the other for neither can live while the other survives...the one 
with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh 
month dies..."
