Oh no, now my brain is starting to make noises again.
If someone else interferes with time, you would have no knowledge of them 
doing so because you would never have known any different - it's only the 
person doing the interfering who knows what originally happened, and can 
compare it to what has been altered. In other words, if I travelled back in time 
and killed someone famous before they became famous, nobody would have 
heard of them apart from me. I interfered, so I know what happened.
So therefore I don't think Dumbledore would have any knowledge of what had 
originally happened that night, from the moment Harry and Hermione first 
started changing things. But what turns my head upside down is "wouldn't 
Dumbledore wonder why he was at the hospital wing?" because suddenly his 
reason for being there has gone, his knowledge of why he was there has 
gone, Sirius's evening has changed considerably, the Dementors are 
probably really miffed and don't know why, and Ron has seen H&H disappear 
and reappear for no good reason. And his injuries still hurt when they 
shouldn't even be there... I think.

Can I apologise to everyone for starting this? I'm really sorry...
