	In one of the interviews with JKR she referred to Harry's trips through 
the penseive with DD as going back in time to look at Voldemorte's 
history.  This may be what she had in mind when asked if Harry would be 
doing any more time travel.  She responded "no comment." If there is 
some confusion in her mind about what constitutes time travel, it is 
more likely that he will find the penseive which DD left.
