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.  <snip>



cathy:
I think that, if possible, your solution would solve all of their problems (though it is unknown what others it might create), the only persons I believe who would be willing to go to such lengths (i.e. kill a defenseless baby/child) would be those of the nature of Voldemort and his followers.  I just can't see any of the "good" guys 
stooping to such measures.  While Voldemort was certainly willing to kill Harry while an infant (that backfired, didn't it?), I just can't see Dumbledore or any of the others aligned with him ever doing anything of the like.  Fight an adult who can defend him/herself, yes, but not go after an innocent child.

now karyn:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the THING with the time-turners that you can't undo certain things? Like, you can go back and correct things that just happened, but you can't go back and kill LV, for example, because there are already so many consequences from him being alive? 

--Karyn... who think she's read/heard this somewhere but doesn't have a source and might just have made it up...
