it opens up too many obvious questions, #1 being why the hell wouldn't Dumbledore go back in time and kill 11 year old Voldemort when he met him at the orphanage

This one is a problem in all time travel stories. Don't change the past. I probably can't counter your point well enough to change your view, but Dumbledore was very idealistic so he probably would have viewed it as necessary to follow that rule.

Second complaint is Harry's attitude and temper. He has the emotions of a small child, ESPECIALLY in the 5th book. He refuses help and literally is the only reason Sirius died, fricking idiot

Teen angst.

There are lots of these whether it be side by side apparation (why didn't they do this to get to the quidditch World Cup? How is it possible Harry is one of the only people in his class to have ever done this?).

I'd have to re-read, but isn't side-by-side apparition a dodgy concept? Plus there weren't enough adults for every child. Port key was probably a safer option.

Also the ministry of magic can keep tabs on anyone doing magic around a minor? How could they not find anyone they wanted? How did they not know Voldemort killed his father when he was 16? It wasn't suspicious that he was in a house he'd never been in and 3 people were killed that night?

---

Maybe it wasn't policy at the time to keep tabs on underage wizards. Maybe Voldemort was the reason they created that policy.

Finally the way they "trick" muggles. Seriously are people in England retarded? Most of the shite they do to trick them is amazingly obvious and would never work in a million years. Nobody notices several 100 people going through a brick wall at a busy train station twice a year?
