Jen: Ron's birthday watch? I think Dumbledore's watch is an 
unrestricted time-turner and he's been traveling back to gather 
information about Voldemort and other important things. Ron's watch 
looks very similar to Dumbledore's. I like the idea DD traveled back 
to GH and that's how he knew what happened so quickly, but seeing as 
I can't fathom the time-space contiuum, maybe it wouldn't work out 
for him to be there. And it does seem like he'd have more concrete 
information to give Harry if he observed GH.

Jen: I've thought about both these events because I really believe 
time-travel will make a reappearance. Re: the tower, it would be 
hard for the Trio to hide up there and not be seen. Harry alone up 
there under the Invisibility Cloak...er...it's hard to imagine him 
not attempting to intervene. We know he *didn't* because a second 
Harry wasn't seen, so if he was on the tower he held himself in 
check.  Wait! Dumbledore could become invisible as well as knowing 
about time-travel. Is that a function of his watch, too? If so, 
maybe the Trio could use Ron's watch for both.

Maybe they didn't change events on the tower but just observed them? 

GH might work too, if the watch works more efficiently than the MOM 
turners. The big trick again would be not intervening and not being 
seen. 

Alla mentioned Valky making a good canon argument for the Trio 
traveling back to the DOM battle and that post can be found here:

Jen R. mostly interested in another time-turner sequence because she 
can't figure out a way for the Trio to get a memory of GH for the 
Pensieve. Unless there's a replay of the Slughorn scene and 
Pettigrew, Snape or the someone else at Godric's Hollow reluctantly 
gives a memory.
