Alla:

Um, no, not for a fact. We know that not all order members were 
killed. Who is to say that Lily and James would not have been among 
the living?

I mean, again it is POSSIBLE that they would have been killed of 
course, just as POSSIBLE that they would be alive. And thanks to 
Snape and Voldemort, that other possibility did not have any chance 
to play out IMO.

Alla:

Oh? I would speculate that they would have tried their hardest to get 
rid of Voldemort. It is possible that eventually they would have 
succeeded, don't you think?

Pippin:

Alla:

That's only one scenario of what could have happened in my opinion. 
Another one is for example - Light wins, after hard struggle, yes. 
Maybe adults for a change would take the first seats in the fight.

I mean, as long as we are from within the story, it is rather 
disgusting to put all your hopes of winning upon one kid and his 
friends, no?

Why would Dumbledore die much sooner by the way? You mean after he 
tried ring horcrux on or sooner than that?

Who knows, maybe Dumbledore's earlier death would have done GOOD to 
order members, who would have learned to not depend on one person so 
much IMO.

And Snape, well, hopefully somebody would have just killed him in the 
fight and that way kids would not have endure him at all.

It seems that I have to do this disclaimer every single time when I 
say it, so here it goes again, I do NOT wish for different story, 
when I speculate this way, I am only thinking as if characters did 
not know that they are within the story.

I love what transpired in the books for the most part, love in a 
sense that for me it made wonderful, fast pacing story, etc.

Love as I am to hate Snape, I would not wish for any other catalist 
in the story, I think JKR chose great, but it all does not stop me 
from thinking what I described above.
