 So, in JKR's  version of TT, you can only go back and see things as they 
happened from a different perspective; you're not really CHANGING the 
events and doing them over.  Did I at least get that much right??

I don't think so <g>. If that were so, why was Hermione so seriously 
warned against changing time? My understanding of JKR's form of TT 
is that it *is* possible to change time.

FINALLY, someone who sees my point int his whole TT debate!!!  As far as 
other threads who have stated their belief that "you can't change time...they 
always' did that."  Well, just as you said, the reason it happened the way it did, 
(Buckbeak survived, Sirius was saved) is because they were sure NOT to change 
time.  

They weren't like puppets who were made to follow the steps they had before.  
They did it because that's what they were trying to do!  Hermione remembered 
to throw the rock in the hut to distract Ron.  Harry remembered the patronus 
was cast, because he had done it previously, but he didn't HAVE to.  Had he 
decided NOT to save himself, then he could have.  

JKR has said in so many ways in her books that its our choices that matter!  
And in my opinion, TT falls into this category as well!  You always have a 
choice in what you do, whether you make the right one is all up to you!
