Does the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas? A butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of, delay, accelerate or even prevent a natural disaster. The flapping wing could cause a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale alterations of events. Had the butterfly not flapped its wings, the world might be a vastly different place. Do small events cause large-scale changes? Say, for instance, if someone's life went just a little bit differently. If just one thing changed that made everything else different too, could that one thing alter the course of not just their life but the lives of the people around them as well? Consider, for example, the life of Petunia Evans. What if Petunia had been born a witch? What if Petunia had gone to Hogwarts two years before her sister? Could that one small change potentially alter the lives of everyone around her? What if because Petunia went to Hogwarts her sister never died? What if Lily married Severus Snape rather than James Potter? What if Harry Potter, the boy who lived, was never born? What if the events of the first Wizarding War were altered greatly, simply because Petunia Evans was a witch?
Welcome to the world, new comer. It is 1975 and today's young witches and wizards are right in the middle of the decade of discontent. Life has never been so good, but nor has there ever been so much trouble. Voldemort is rising and people are following him like sheep. There are those that resist, but they are few compared to his followers. No matter what happens, the fact stands that life will never be the same.
