Buffy: I have the same problem with Dumbledore and the Time Turner. If you can use the Time Turner to save creatures before they die, then why didn't Dumbledore go back and save Lily and James Potter? Can it only be used on the same day that someone died? But wouldn't Dumbledore be the first to know who Voldemort killed? And if he suspected that Lily and James were on Voldemort's hit list, why couldn't those two have had a portkey nearby at all times that would allow them instant escape? Trouble is, we don't really know that much about how Dumbledore operates. |
Yeah you're right about the portkey as an emergency exit.. why not have one for the Potters? Hey maybe THAT was what Dumbledore was writing to Petunia about, setting up a portkey into their home just in case?? I'm tired too and it's only 5:15 in the evening here AND I've had a good nights sleep!!! Naaa there's no excuse for this one.
Dumb. couldn't have used the time turner though, 'cause isn't the cardinal rule that you're not allowed to change things that have happened AND #1 rule, that you're not allowed to mess around with death? Maybe I'm confusing the last point with some other witchy-poo story I've read.
We need to know more about the night the Potters died AND about Dumbledore (he hasn't told all yet. No... not by a long shot (what does that mean?), mark my words (what does that mean?). *sinister gaffaw*(what does that mean?)
