Chris, what a great post! There's certainly a lot more going on than I imagined! 
 
Its possible that DD decided in advance of Buckbeak's execution, that he  was 
either going to go back himself later, or send someone else back, to rescue  
Buckbeak, and was making sure extra time was provided for this. But in this  
situation, where it is all still to happen in the future, so to speak, I  can't 
see why he would be amused, the amusement has to be retrospective.
And the foreknowledge about the trial suggests that moving backwards  and 
forwards in time  may be a habit with him. 
So he may be going back and/or forwards mentally, or physically, or  both. 
And if it was physical, his apparent invisibility ability  (sorry!) would ensure 
that he doesn't get seen....
 
Wow! What possibilities that opens up. Godric's Hollow - When the  Fidelius 
charm is broken, DD knows where Godric's Hollow is and goes back  and watches 
the whole thing, probably sticking his oar in at some point to  change the 
course of events. Or DD goes forward and watches events at Godric's  Hollow, 
complete with oar, and then nips back and suggests the Fidelius charm to  the 
Potters - Machiavelli, eat your heart out!
 
But that leaves even less of an excuse for Sirius' death.   :-(((   There had 
better be a reason, and it sure needs to be a good  one after this...
 
....back to reading from the start of book 1 again!
