THANK YOU.  This is another way of looking at my argument. The only 
way to work out the events that JKR wrote would be if we are seeing 
the CHANGED events from two different perspectives, but that there 
was an "original" set of events which were changed which we never 
see.  However as I have stated, I do not believe that JKR imagined 
that this is how it worked, nor do I think she imagined that "it 
always was this way" as almost everyone else has been banging me 
over the head with, because then she would have left out all the 
warnings about changing the past!

Ultimately she creates a nice little time-travel solution to a 
problem that just doesn't hold up to logic.
