I had the same problem with understanding the time sequence for the 
same reason. I'm waiting on this one because if the first three books 
mirror the second three books respectively, the time-turner should 
show up in the HBP. There was a two-part post some time back from 
Sienna that was very good about the books mirroring each other to 
some extent.

If the time turner factor is a plot device in the 6th book, I can 
just visualize JKR's very evil grin as she awaits our response, it 
could certainly turn things a bit more topsy-turvy than we ever could 
have imagined. 

As statistics go, POA is the most favored book of the series thus 
far. Again, if book six images book three we end up with JKR's 
statement from the Edinburgh Festival:

(Q)
Out of all your books, which one is your favourite?

(A)
It varies. I would have to say that it is probably Harry Potter and 
the Prisoner of Azkaban, although at the moment—it is unfair of me to 
say it—Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is my favourite book.
