We have our "one tiny change back when it all started."

Sirius has all but confirmed that everyone thought Lupin was the secret keeper.

Since Peter seems to not be around, we have two scenarios. One Lupin did actually betray the Potters to V. I find this unlikely given Lupin's personality both in the books and as portrayed here. Two Lupin did the same switch that Sirius did in the books. He's the one that cornered Peter afterwards, but unlike Sirius did actually manage to kill him. I see no reason for Peter to have gone into hiding in this world if Lupin had only managed to harm him and every reason for Lupin to have done so after this version of events.

Okay, I've got to say it. I've been wondering, but now it's grown to the size of an elephant in the room that everyone's pretending isn't there...



...what about Peter Pettigrew? Where is he in this AU? What's his story? Has he somehow been erased? (Has he been mentioned?)

It's impossible to understand the grounds for the Order's apprehensions about Remus when they don't ever refer to the fourth Marauder.


Relatedly, do you guys have theories about what happened on the night the Potters were murdered? What are all of the differences? I'll start.


    1. Tom Riddle didn't die.
    2. Harry seems not to have been cursed. He seems to have no scar. (In other words, it seems not to have been Tom Riddle's plan to kill Harry, just to steal him. What interpretation of the Prophecy does this hint at? How much of the Prophecy does the Lord Protector know? Is the Prophecy the same?)
         2a. Harry's status: he is not the Boy Who Lived; he is (only) the Lord Protector's son.
    3. Sirius is not the friend suspected of treachery. (And, since the event did not play out as in canon, he did not "kill" Peter and did not get sent to Azkaban.)
    4.
    5.

    What else?


A small point, since in this AU Tom Riddle has established himself as "Lord Protector," I'm finding it hard to call him Voldemort. And now that enough playing time and so many posts have slipped by, I can't remember whether anyone in-game has called him Voldemort. It seems to me there was an early reference to his given name, but I can't think whether he's been called anything besides "Lord" and "Lord Protector" since.
