TLwrites:
 Dumbledore tells them more than one innocent life can be saved.  Dumbledore 
at this time knows Beaky isn't dead, and he HOPES Sirius can be saved.  <snip>

Hermione, on the other hand, doesn't see how going back three hours is going 
to help **SIRIUS**.  She knows that Sirius has been caught,
locked up and the dementors are on the way.  She knows there's nothing they 
can do to change *that*. <snip> As for not correcting Harry, she's 
concentrating on what Dumbledore
wants her to do.  

Chancie:

Ok in all fairness I can see your point, and it does fit into your theory, 
HOWEVER, what of the quote that "K" found that FULLY suports the theory that 
time can be changed-----
********************************************************************


"K":
*Hermione - terrified whisper
*One of the most important wizarding laws
*Nobody's supposed to change time
*Nobody

<snip>

*Awful things have happened when wizards have meddled with time. 
*...loads of them ended up killing their past or future selves by 
mistake!

So, wizards have made mistakes when meddling with time. Loads of 
them have killed themselves and it was a *mistake*. It wasn't what 
would have happened naturally.

Chancie again:
(I took the liberty of looking this quote up in the American version too so 
that you can look at it for you self, Chapter 21, page 399 paperback)

This quote 100% verifies (to myself at lest) that time CAN be changed!  It's 
stated by Hermione who obtained this information from McGonagall.  I think 
that makes this a VERY important and reliable quote.  If you have any 
contradicting evidence I would like to see it so that I can beable to see your point of 
view.
