When I was at school I used to imagine using a Time Turner to hide in a cupboard and listen to all the questions so I'd know the answers when I did the day again, so I'd look like a genius

But they didn't go back to kill him, because he's alive!

There was no timeline where Buckbeak died, because Harrmione went back and saved him. There was no timeline where some Death Eaters went back to kill Harry, because he's alive.

That said, there are so few Time Turners it must be pretty easy to regulate. Also, the Minister knows what spells are cast and where (they knew a Hover Charm was used in Chamber, and a Violet Beaurigard spell was done in Prisoner). It's plausible they'd notice when an unsanctioned Time Turner materialised from the future, and could send Aurors to investigate.

AND ALSO!! While Harry was living with the Dursleys, they familial protection spell would mean he was borderline untouchable. When he wasn't living with the Dursleys, he was either in Hogwarts or surrounded by members of the Order.

So either way, there are probably Death Eaters who went to the past and were either apprehended, or are wandering hopelessly around, unable to communicate with anyone they know until they catch up with the time they left...
