Bear in mind Hermione's speech when she stopped Harry from rushing in
during the Time-Turner episode in POA (slightly edited for brevity):
HG: "Harry, what do you think you'd do if you saw yourself bursting
into Hagrid's house?"
HP: "I'd think I'd gone mad, or I'd think there was some Dark Magic
going on ..."
HG: "Exactly! You wouldn't understand, you might even attack yourself!
Don't you see? Professor McGonagall told me what awful things
have happened when wizards have meddled with time ... loads of
them ended up killing their past or future selves by mistake!"
Given Lily's oft-noted skill with Charms, I wonder whether she would
react to the sudden appearence of someone uncannily like her husband
(but obviously *not* him) at a time of extreme crisis in a calm and
measured manner, or whether she would be inclined to blast first and
ask pointed questions afterwards.

who has to keep reminding himself that it was JMS, not JKR, who swore
that time-travel would be used in only one event albeit from both ends
(and kept his promise :-)
