I'm going to go all HP nerd/party pooper for a second.
The time turner only allows a short period of time travel. There's no way that they could have gone all the way to prevent the death of his parents. Even if they had the time turner at the time of their deaths, voldemort was standing right in front of them. Keep in mind that during the original war, not even Dumbledore was able to stand up to Voldemort.
Really? The only comparison in power I remember was them saying (and they seemed to say it a lot) that the only person Voldemort was afraid of was Dumbledore. I thought it was funny anyway. It's not even technically correct, since Buckbeak never died thanks to the time loop.Keep in mind that during the original war, not even Dumbledore was able to stand up to Voldemort.
they go back a few hours with one in book 3. Why doesn't dumbles get the news the potters are dead, pop back a few hours, and then remove them from their obviously compromised safe-house before voldemort even arrives that evening?I'm going to go all HP nerd/party pooper for a second.

That is not funny at all. It is horrifying. It is the stuff of nightmares.
Most likely is that no one saw it coming. Buckbeak never died, Future Harry and Hermoine set him free (in the "Present") before he was going to be killed. How Dumbledore knew Buckbeak would play a key role in rescuing Sirius is beyond me though.. But it's safe to say he never saw Harry's parents' death coming (since it was made abundantly clear that everyone trusted Wormtail). After their deaths, it would already be too late to save them (because it it wasn't, they wouldn't have died in the first place)they go back a few hours with one in book 3.

I'm pretty sure I have a horrible gif from that same show...
