lucianam:

If what happened was (or will be, since Book 7 hasn't been released
yet - getting all the verbs right is a bore!) Book 7 Hermione
travelling back to Book 5, there is no contradiction of canon whatsoever.

It's the same situation in PoA. Harry and Hermione travelled back in
time (3 hours), so it doesn't contradict that quotation either. 

And yet, if you look at both these situations from the POV of the
characters in Book 5' timeframe, B7 Hermione is a 'character returned
from the future'; and from the POV of the characters in PoA living in
the timeframe three hours prior to H&H's Time-Travel, Harry and
Hermione from '3 hours later' are also 'characters returned from the
future'.

So you see, there were two chracters who have returned from the future
in PoA, if you look at it from a certain POV. If you take JKR's
quotation literally, well, then she has contradicted herself.

I don't see any difference between these two Time-Travel, canon-wise.
Only one of them goes back 3 hours, the other one goes back 2 years.
