[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0="Michiel"]Exactly, but what set those events in motion? Harry should just have died, after which he couldn't grow older to save himself. The fact that this didn't occur, indicates a predestination paradox.[/quoteost_uid0]
No, he shouldn't have. I can't explain very confidently, because I don't know whether his younger self was aware of the time travel involved or even knew he was in danger, but it's no more paradoxical than if one non-time-travelling person were to warn another ordinary person away from a rickety bridge that would have plunged into a ravine had anybody stepped onto it.

And then there's always non-causal physics... :O :crying: :dead: Â Â Â Â Â [/colorost_uid0]
