I'm rereading HBP for the 4th time.  Why this particular tidbit 
leapt out at me at this juncture is hard to say.  Among Ron's 
birthday presents is a "heavy gold watch with odd symbols around the 
edge and tiny moving stars instead of hands."  I thought I was 
experiencing deja vu until I remembered something from PS/SS (which 
I'm also rereading concurrently): "Dumbledore gave a great sniff as 
he a took a golden watch from his pocket and examined it.  It was a 
very odd watch.  It had twelve hands but no numbers.  Instead, 
little planets were moving around the edge."  Given JKR's penchant 
for giving us what are seemingly throw-away lines, I had to wonder 
if Ron's present is actually Dumbledore's watch.  The question is, 
what does the watch do?  Will it become important in book 7.  We're 
given to believe the watch is from his parents, but there's no proof 
of that.

Maybe I'm grasping at straws, but it does seem an interesting 
coincidence.

Luckdragon: 

There is a watch like DD's on Jo's website as well. I'm wondering if it could have something with turning back time despite canon saying all the time turners were destroyed in OOTP during the fight at the ministry.
