MusicalBetsy here:
Maybe in her situation it's okay for others to see the time-turned 
Hermione AS LONG AS no one sees BOTH Hermiones at the same time.  
After all, that would make anyone wonder what the heck was going on.  
This is just a guess, BTW.

MusicalBetsy again:
Okay, another guess.  Maybe the Marauder's Map doesn't pick up time 
turned people?  Possibly?  Maybe?  Cause it's the only explanation 
that works??

MusicalBetsy, just trying to fix any plot holes so she can go back to 
enjoying the books without anything getting in her way...
