Kristen responds:

I don't think there is a rule that you should not be seen.  I think 
the rule is that wizards are not suppose to time travel because they 
don't want them to change the course of events. i.e. Because H&H used 
the Time Turner, Buckbeak lives but per the MOM Buckbeak was not 
suppose to live.  (I tried to word that so that I did not re-start 
the debate on if H&H did change things).

So the do not be seen thing is really just common sense, or 
Hermione's own rule so that they don't get caught.
