Time-turner alibi means he can be standing right next to the Minister the whole time Sirius is escaping, and still do it. That's the plan he used for Harry & Hermione, after all!

Line 27:
* In Book Five, Dumbledore reveals that he kept the prophecy hidden from Harry to preserve the boy's childhood. Seemingly fine and good—until you remember that, when Harry was thirteen, Dumbledore sent him and his two friends to rescue a fugitive from a hundred dementors, on a night where an uncontrolled werewolf was loose. Also, it is implied in Book One that Dumbledore meant for ''eleven''-year-old Harry and his friends to save the Stone from Quirrel, resulting in the man's death. [[Sarcasm Mode|These events are sure to guarantee anyone a sheltered, happy childhood.]]
** Dumbledore is the only person who can apparate or use portkeys within Hogwarts. Getting in and getting Sirius out would be trivial for him even if it's difficult for anyone else. And if he really needs an alibi, then he could just ask Hermione to give him the Time-Turner!
*** But it would look suspicious if he did it. If two kids who are supposed to be in bed did it, nobody in their right mind would believe that they did it.
*** So he sends Fawkes to do it instead, while he stays with the Minister the whole time. Nobody is going to believe a theory where a ''phoenix'' helps Voldemort's supposed "lieutenant" escape, now would they?
** Everything Dumbledore listed as 'why I didn't tell Harry' in that first year was only why he didn't tell Harry at the end of the year. Why couldn't he have told Harry earlier? Also, even if he didn't know Quirrel would die, had he considered what someone willing to ''slay unicorns'' might do to Harry?
*** Dumbledore has several flaws. One of them is caring for people so much that he tries to protect them long past the time they can stand on their own two feet.
