What just occurred to me about Dumbledore's role is "Would he remember
advising H&H to alter the past, when he meets them AFTER they'd done it?"
And if he doesn't, which in my view he shouldn't, then would he have any
knowledge of the evening's events? In which case, he'd remember one series
of events leading up to when Harry and Hermione went back and interfered,
and then have to get his head around a different outcome as a result of their
interference.
I'd say he'd have a right headache. He'd remember WHAT, exactly?
To spell it out: immediately after advising H&H to turn back time, he leaves
the hospital wing. As far as he's concerned, he meets them again outside the
door and apparently has no idea why he's meeting them again - yet he's
prepared not to question what they've been up to.
And following the thought through, wouldn't the altering of the past have a
bearing on the injuries sustained by Ron?
And while I'm on this subject, why don't Harry and Hermione go back to when
they lost Pettigrew and trap him? Then Sirius would have his day in court, and
all would be well with the world... I think?
And don't forget folks, although we've all been focusing on Harry saving
himself, there would also have been a timeline where Hermione wasn't there
to throw stones at the window by the pumpkin patch. Then it all becomes
different. This is entirely down to JKR only telling us the AFFECTED timeline,
and ignoring the original one. It just doesn't work, and I feel disapponted at
such an oversight/avoidance.
