And we know Hermione was still capable of speech after that line because she tells Harry it wasn’t his fault. The time traveler theory is a possibility but I don’t see that line as indicating a lurking future Harry giving useless advice.
Yes, but why would she say “keep it off me” in that voice? I would be very, very impressed if Hermione managed anything other than a whisper or a scream in that state, unfortunately.
Also, it’s hardly useless advice. For starters, if we assume that Harry didn’t say anything, it probably caused F&G to give Harry enough time to act. It may also give future-Harry space to act; if he doesn’t have to worry about avoiding a troll without leaving evidence, he’ll probably have a lot easier time rescuing Hermione.

What voice, precisely? There is no narrative text going ’”Keep it off me”, loudly said a proud confident masculine voice”.
“Keep it off me,” as opposed to, iunno, “‘k-keep… it off me...,’ someone whispered”
About two minutes later Hermione was struggling to whisper “Not your fault,” so I don’t see her speaking audibly over a troll fight.
she first yells, then has some appendages eaten off… yeah, that would reduce your stamina and energy pretty quickly.
