Doddie here:

We shall never know what Hermione may/maynot have done with the time 
turner...after all...she did be believe Harry that he didn't put his 
name in the TW-cup...she was insistant that Harry do "NOTHING" 
during H/H time turning experience....Yet Harry defied her and saved 
them all...

After OOP we get the picture that there are more than one means of 
time travel...and I doubt that they would give the only time turner 
in existence to a student at Hogwarts...hence there are several time 
turners..at the very least there are more than ONE!

If prophecies are true and accurate, then, it would not matter how 
many time turning experiments occurred...those to whom the 
prophecies refered to...would come to pass no matter how much time-
turning occurred..

For example:  DD told Hermione to use her time-turner to save Sirius 
in POA; however, Sirius died in OOP...but if Sirius had not died, 
then would Harry have been able to rid Voldemort's possession of him 
in the MOM???

I know Ron and Hermione tell Harry he "has a people saving 
thing"...but  Harry, NEEDS to have a saving people thing...and if 
not for Harry, a great deal many people more would be dead in the 
books already..(I never saw anyone complaining when Harry saved 
Ginny in CS or when he saved Sirius, Hermione, Himself etc. in POA!)

So perhaps DD "turns time" (either self imposed or directed) to 
teach Harry certain lessons...(you decide which lessons)...


I always hated the time functions showing up because I thought that 
even if it did not matter, then whom ever was left at the end could 
get a turner and play the whole thing over again...Perhaps 
DD's "light put-outter" does more than shut off street lights?!?!?
*shrug*

I trust DD learned many important lessons regarding this in his 
battles with Grindenwald(or whatever his name was)..
