Yes, and not only Buckbeak and Dumbledore, but also Sirius, James 
and Lily, Cedric...

It doesn't make any sense. If you can go back in time and fix 
everything, we wouldn't have a plot _ so of course you CAN'T  use 
the Time-Turner to fix all the world's wrongs. 

Which brings me to the point: why did Dumbledore allow, or even, 
suggest, that Harry and Hermione would go back in Time and change 
history, that particular time? Why was it ok then, but not ok, say, 
to save Cedric or Sirius or Harry's parents?

I fear JKR will not address this particular problem, but I wish she 
did. It is absurd that you can go back in time and fix something for 
no particularly better reason than you'd have to want to fix 
everything that has ever went wrong.
