alt_fenWith Molly's post, we now know a little more about how this new timeline has impacted the Order members.
We already know that Alice and Frank Longbottom were not tortured into insanity -- this is fairly obvious, as in the original storyline, they were tortured by the LeStranges in order to find out where Lord Voldemort was. As he never went away to begin with in this time, there was no need.
Now, another tidbit -- Molly and Sirius have just let us know that Caradoc Dearborn, Benjy Fenwick, and Marlene Mckinnon are still among the land of the living. I wonder why they were spared in this time -- it would be interesting to hear more about the events surrounding Voldemort's victory and the Potters' death to figure out why these guys are still around. Oooh. I wonder if the Prewett brothers are also alive?
EDIT: That's Dorcas Meadows, not Marlene. My bad. Still, Dorcas was one of the ones that died too.

Date: 2009-01-31 12:11 am (UTC)What if the prophecy was altered somehow so Voldemort heard something like... "neither can die while the other survives," instead of "neither can live while the other survives"? That would explain why he's so protective of Harry -- he'd want Harry to stay alive to protect his own hide. The prophecy is a bit too complicated in terms of how it actually ended up working in the book for me to wrap myself around it without going back and doing some serious reading, but that might explain why Voldemort insisted on not killing Harry, but putting him under his own personal care, and getting all paranoid about people trying to kill Harry.
