When Hermione and Harry go back in time, they can't be seen. But when Hermione went back in time to get to more classes, she must have been seen, right? I mean, did she like, hide during those lessons in which she had gone back in time?

No, Ron actually gets suspicious beacuse someone mentions Hermione in another class, but it was at the same time as a class she has with Ron and Harry.
So Ron and Harry assume he must have just been mistaken.

The idea is that they can't be seen by the same people both times. No one can see her that will get confused. And she obviously can't be seen by herself.

No she was seen because she had to participate in the classes of course. As long as you aren't seen by you or there is no chance that a person can see both of you too soon in between (like sees her in the great hall, leaves and sees her in the entrance hall again, gets suspicious). So it's alright she's seen in class though.

It's still slightly confusing, but Ginny makes it better, lol.

I think it's endless if you turn it enough times.

It would be quite impossible. I mean if so she could go back to Prehistoric years, right? And then what? She would wait till millions of years pass? The only way to do that is to use something with which you could return to the present.

Anyways... you turn the hourglass once and it sends you back only one hour. I you wanted to go back one year, it must be turned 1,471,680 times... And if you wanted to go back to Prehistory, you should turn it 7,358,400,000 times.
hahaha...

I don't get why she didn't use the time turner to give her more time to study and sleep.

Hermione would have thought of that as cheating, like she would have been giving herself more of an opportunity to study and get better grades than other people would have, so she wouldn't have done it.

She was only allowed to use them to get to her classes.

Fair enough, but it doesn't really make sense. She should have been permitted extra hours for sleep and study. Wizards never seem to think these things out practically. ^_^

I just noticed today - when they turn back the time twister, they arrive in the Great Hall instead of where they were. Weird.

The novel interpretation of the Time Turner implies that they are transported to wherever they happened to be at that time... It makes more sense - imagine if someone had been inside the Hospital wing three hours beforehand and they just appeared out of thin air...
