Well, a frequent theme is the search for meaning. His characters are often on a journey to find some sense in a world that doesn't seem to make much sense. Take 'Harrison Bergeron' for instance. In that story, the pursuit of equality has gone too far, and it shows how difficult it can be to find true meaning in a society that enforces such extreme norms. Another theme is the futility of some human endeavors. We see this when his characters try to achieve things that are ultimately unachievable or that lead to no real gain in the grand scheme of things.

If a character goes back and gives the Death Eaters more advanced magic knowledge, Voldemort could become even more powerful. Or, if a time traveler helps the Order of the Phoenix earlier in the timeline, they could potentially defeat Voldemort much sooner.
