Time Turner by the end of the year? <snip> <

>That's the million dollar question! Strange how Harry, Hermione, and 
Ron just happen to be introduced to just the right gadgets, animals, 
and spells they need to save each other at the end of each book.<

Betsy:
I think maybe you're overthinking things.  We, the readers, need to 
have the various animals, plants, spells, etc. explained so that we 
know what's going on.  So JKR takes advantage that this is a school 
and Harry is learning about the WW to introduce new stuff.  Plus, 
there's the side benefit of foreshadowing.

Of course, if you want to look at it from *inside* the world, and not 
as a reader, you could say that Harry and crew do a good job using 
what they have on hand.  Harry takes what he's learned and adapts it 
to whatever problem he's facing.

Then again - there is that handy, Dumbledore is Ron theory kicking 
around. :)
