I'm just browsing through my favourite parts of HBP and have noticed the
alarm clock on p.46, (Bloomsbury) which is mentioned a few times. Harry
repaired it a while back apparently. Does anyone see any significance in
this? Why mention that Harry has repaired the clock? Could it have survived
the Godric's Hollow debacle and therefore be something which belonged to
Godric Gryffindor? Why is it so significant? Especially as it is not the
alarm clock which alerts Harry to Dumbledore's arrival, but the street
suddenly turning dark as Dumbledore uses the Put-Outer.

MML who sometimes has the nickname of 'wooden spoon'.


Luckdragon:
  There is a possibility that James Potter's family/profession had something to do with clocks(or maybe timeturners). This is really a guess on my part for a while now; but the only reference I have to support it is an unusual little tidbit posted on Jo's website.
   
  JKR notes on her Website that someone named Harry Potter was a 19thC clockmaker (JKR). 
   
  Luckdragon, who things there is still a timeturner out there waiting to be put to use.
