Hah, I wondered if someone would ask that. I reply that seeing through the Cloak is a ‘requires concentration’ ability. Harry deliberately doesn’t concentrate before going back in time, because he doesn’t want to fix anything via knowledge so as to leave himself freedom of action.
I would say a small edit is probably in order, because “as obvious to him as a Thestral” definitely doesn’t come across as an ability that requires any concentration.
But I think Karl’s explanation is a much better one and should be canonical.

Fair point.
