However, the natural course is ignored by JKR. It never happens
because the 'future' Harry interferes by going back in time and
stopping the Dementors and the story carries on along the new Time
Line B. But how? JKR seems to have completely skipped over a very
simple principle, ie if the Dementors had never been forced away by
the 'future' Harry, the 'future' Harry would have never been in a
position where he could go back and force them away.

vmonte responds:

There are several theories regarding what happened in PoA. I know 
about two. In one version Dumbledore saves Harry the first time 
around, then sends Harry the second time around to save himself. 

The second theory is that time-line A never happened because Harry 
had always saved himself; which means that time is not as rigid and 
linear as we believe.  This second version is difficult to 
understand, but you can use the same principle to explain Hermione's 
warning about wizards that have killed their past and or future 
selves. Logically killing your past self would make no sense right? 
How would you get to the future/present if you killed your past self? 
Apparently in JKR's world, these things are somehow possible because 
she says so, and applying any logic to the situation will fail.
