This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What about time travel? They had a pocket time travel device and they couldn't strangle baby Voldemort? Or was there some Avengers endgame multi dimension thing preventing that?

IIRC Time Turners can't change the past. Whatever actions you do while in the past have already happened the first time around, you just didn't know it because you didn't travel to the past yet.

Time turners can't change the past that you observed and even then it could've been an illusion or a trick. Dumbledore could've gone back in time to save Sirius and then cast an illusion making everyone believe he passed through the veil. The past didn't change, only people weren't aware of what was really happening.
