When someone is unsatisfied of his present, time travel may be attractive. But would an old Harry really be interested in reliving his school years with all those annoying school kids, classes and dark lords? Probably not - but sometimes you don't have a choice. No Slash - no clichès (beside time travel itself) - maybe no romance at all.
