Chancie:
It doesn't really make since to me that there would be time limits on the TT, 
but the only thing about not having limits is, why don't they just use it to 
kill Tom Riddle when he's a baby so that no one has to suffer from the things 
that he will do if given the chance.  It would seem like the easiest fix for 
the whole situation.  Harry's parent's would still be alive, Hagrid wouldn't 
have been framed, and expelled.  Cedric wouldn't have been Killed.  Neville's 
parent's would still be sane.  Sirius would still be alive....well I think 
I've made my point.  But then again if none of these things happened then 
there wouldn't be much of a story either huh....  The only thing I guess that can solve this is JKR answering it for us.  But then maybe something like this will happen in the end.  When asked in a chat if the TT will be back her answer was "NOT TELLING!"  

Just a thought
