Pippin:
I think JKR dealt with this, though I am sure nothing will satisfy 
those who think Sirius should have remained in the story. As
Hermione tells us, one must not be seen to change time. I
don't think this is merely a legal restriction.  The
endless travelling loop of the time turner cabinet, perpetually
smashing and restoring itself suggests what can happen if
Time Turners are misused. Would Harry risk a future where 
Sirius falls endlessly through the veil? Death's better, surely.
