Snape's Witch replies:

In her August appearance in NYC Jo said that Dumbledore was 
definitely dead as she felt the speculation had gone on long enough 
and should stop.  Earlier she has stated that dead is dead in 
Potterverse so no one is coming back to life:  not the Potters, not 
Sirius, not Dumbledore.

Snape's Witch replies:
No, what she actually said was that some authors kill off their main 
characters so that others wouldn't continue their stories after the 
original author had died.  She must have been thinking of the 
dreadful (IMO) sequels to 'Gone with the Wind' and 'Rebecca'!!  In 
fact, I believe she accidently let it slip at the above mentioned 
appearance that the Trio will indeed survive.

I think the time turner question has been answered very well.
