What might have happened anyway, even if Pettigrew was detained?


I agree that Voldemort would have risen again somehow. There would have been some foolish wizard or witch who would have strayed to close to him like Quirrell had and been taken advantage of. Like Voldemort himself said, there would have been plenty who would have opened up to him in return for power.

I don't know if seeing Pettigrew alive would have convinced Fudge of Sirius' innocence though. admitting that would be saying that the Ministry had been wrong, wouldn't it ? Moreover, Pettigrew told the truth in the shack, but would he have been 'cooperative' in front of Fudge with no Remus or Sirius threatening him ?

On another note, if we go by the theory that Trelawney's prediction would have come true even if Pettigrew hadn't escaped, then maybe some other DE would have broken out of Azkaban that night. Maybe Bellatrix. *shudder* Imagine that woman loose even before she was. unsure.gif

The most likely person to fulfil the prophecy would be Barty Crouch Jnr who at the time of Wormtail's escape had broken loose from Azkaban, was in chains anyway, hiding under an invisibility cloak and his father's imperius curse. Perhaps the prophecy would apply to him and regardless of Wormtail's escape he would find a way of breaking loose and rejoining Voldemort.

I think that Sirius, who hadn't behaved like an innocent man, would still be on the run. Fudge doesn't like to admit he was wrong about Sirius or about anything else.
