Great post. Very interesting.  I'm just going to comment on one 
paragraph.  This has had me
wondering for a while, but in a different context.

In GOF when LV is describing the Godrics Hollow scene, he says, 
paraphrasing."I was ripped
from my body, oh the pain."

I often wondered what happened to LV's body.

Now, for my next issue.  The time turning idea is great, but one thing I 
need figured.  In the POA
book, both sets of Harry and Hermione, have to live during the time turning 
phase at the same time.
Now if Harry does go back, and survive as his late teenage self.  How the 
heck does he get to the
present again.  Would he have to live those 18 years while his baby self 
grows?  Then somehow
be in the same spot to merge at the time the time turner was 
activated.  And if he is wandering
around waiting in the sidelines.  I wonder as who?  If introduced.

But as a whole, headaches all round lol.

However, I'm not quite clear.  Are you suggesting all three of them time 
turned and are running around
as youngsters then that night?
