Geoff:
<ducks and looks nervously over shoulder> If I might risk 
excommunication and refer to the "medium that dare not speak it's 
name", this is almost suggested at the end of HP:POA when Harry and 
Hermione return to the hospital wing and say to Dumbledore "We've 
done it" - or words to that effect and Dumbledore replies "Done what?"

Following up your last comment, this has often occurred to me in 
other time-turning stores. For example,in "Star Trek: Generations" 
(if you know the story line), I've always wondered, why didn't Picard 
and Kirk return to a point where they could stop Soran before he left 
the "Enterprise"?

And a disembodied voice says to me: "Because it ruins the story line, 
dear boy......"
