Interesting notion.  It might also fit in with the GS-DB discrepancies regarding Morty's house and haircut.

I'm betting that Jim has been leaving threads that where often shrugged off by harry as being luck but where really future harry watching out for himself, as for why harry doesn't fix everything, I assume that he will have a limited number of time jumps available to him that would mean he has to put a lot of thought into where and when he goes. i'm really looking forward to it.

Indeed.

The question is to predict where he will put it:

- As I mentioned above, I feel LC is a very likely place.
- DB and Morty is an intriguing possibility.
- Those missing minutes at the end of Changes might be an option.

Any others?

Highly speculative; just before TC, and Harry's headache there is from a mental block he put on himself not to remember it, a la the headaches that hit him in SmF when he sees any combat fire magic, between the time Mab takes away his memories of combat fire magic and the time he gets them back.  (One of them is in the Shedd, in the description of multiple Denarians attacking Ivy, and I think there's another in there but can't recall where.)

areid2:
At some point in the story I think Harry attacks himself after time travelling. We know someone has altered his mind and there is significant evidence of altered timelines. What if Harry avoids paradoxagedden by attacking his younger self, winning and then wiping the memory. Future Harry is so strong that it could be done with minimal injury. Is there any evidence in any of the books of Harry getting injuries without it being in the book?
