Potioncat:
I agree too.  But also, I think it might be possible to find events 
in the first books where a TT might have been used.[That is to say, 
where a future Harry was watching.] Two that come to mind are at the 
Riddle house when a dark haired boy is seen near the house (Yeah, I 
know it was probably Tom) and one is the "Oops" episode (but I don't 
know why) and possibly those times that Harry felt like he was being 
watched but nothing we saw confirmed it.

In TH White's book, the confusion of time is a frequent problem for 
Merlyn who lives backwards in time.  I wouldn't be surprised if JKR 
wove the time issue into the series.

But I don't think she'll just have someone pull a TT out at the end 
and make everything all better.
