      During the AOL chat in 2000, when JKR was asked if Harry would 
time travel again, she refused to answer. It might be a very good guess 
about Ron's watch. I don't think that it is likely that Harry will 
travel back in time to Godric's Hollow as he simply could never be 
trusted not to change the course of history. He could not destroy 
Voldemort in that time period because he would not have destroyed the 
horcruxes yet, and if he prevented his mother's death, he would not have 
had the protections that kept him alive. I wonder if there would be a 
way to get around those issues? What if he went back far enough to 
destroy the horcruxes prior to the attack on Godric's Hollow. What would 
happen then?
     I would think that Harry would be wise enough to go back in time to 
thoroughly question Dumbledore about all the things he did not tell him 
before he died, which could have a great impact on Book 7.
     Also, what if Dumbledore travelled forward in time to set things up 
for Harry's future actions? But you can't do that can you, because you 
might be dead, which was, I believe an actual explanation by Hermione in 
PoA. Funny that would even come up.
