Remember that no matter what happens, the Hufflepuff boy will still come to Harry at a bit after 11:04. This means either that Voldemort will survive this encounter and retain mobility in four hours, or that he set up this message in advance (or that Harry is wrong about the source of this message).
I understood it to be implied that the message was actually set in advance to mislead Harry into believing time travel was involved.
Upon further consideration, this is the more likely solution.
Or that Harry then forges Quirrel forging his signature.
Then the whole thing is precisely arbitrary, reaching and surpassing Bill And Tedd's Bogus Journey levels of fakeout.
Nah, that would just be 'I stole the keys after all' Bill and Tedd's Excellent Adventure level of fakeout.
Fixing paradox is entirely seperate from everything else, and must be taken care of. (We don't know the consequences, but they are presumably serious). If Harry triumphs here, and Voldemort has already arranged for that note to be sent, then fine. If Voldemort hasn't, then Harry has to take care of it himself.
