Alla:


This is certainly a possibility. But there is another possibility. 
Maybe, just maybe some really curious people started to question the 
story of Sirius guilt simply because Peter turned up alive . So, the 
story which was toldabout the events twelve yars ago was incorrect. 
Could it be that Peter being alive led to more revelations?

I certainly think it could, bnut of course it is a pure 
speculative "what if" at this point.

I still much prefer Peter being dead.
