A few points

  1. Hat and Cloak almost slipped and said time travel.

  2. Mary sue time travel is a common device in fan fiction.

  3. The author has stated MoR includes elements that are necessary to ensure artistic completeness as a work of fan fiction.

  4. Mary sue time travel was derisively referred to in the same conversation in which the idea of Sirius Black conspiracy theories were debunked.

  5. There is a person in Azkaban who endlessly repeats "I'm not serious" (Sirius).

  6. It is not possible to travel more than 6 hours back in time with a time turner.

  7. Prophecies transmit information further back in time than 6 hours.

  8. Atlantis was erased from time.

  9. The Weasley twins remark that the Marauder's Map is showing errors.

  10. The Sorting Hat still works.

From the above, I suspect that Mr. Hat and Cloak is a time traveler who has an earlier version running around in the present.
