Harry does mention Padfoot in the Order of the Phoenix when talking to Snape, after Umbrige catches him in her fire. I think that only other reference to the Marauders other than Peter being referenced as Wormtail.

Ok, I have been bitten by a MWD (, Military Working Dog) because the handler lost control & have broken my leg (Femur). I needed 7 stitches & he didn't shake much. That was from the teeth alone. I was hit by a car while riding my bike & went on the hood. I was in a cast for 4 months & couldn't put ANY pressure on it at all. All while trying to hold a fighting SCABBERS? GTFOH!

I think the chapter art is Lupin, simply because Sirius is described specifically as a black dog and the art is more grey. In previous chapter arts that had Sirius, he was portrayed as black.

Yes, I thought the same. Expanding on that, I think it could be anytime from 1975-1976 because Sirius is the opposite of Harry in terms of birthday. Sirius is born November 1959 which means he’s 16 through all of his fifth year (whereas Harry turns 15 before the whole school year). But I do think it’s in June before OWLs just because Lily knows about James saving Snape’s life and the next memory in the Prince’s Tale is OWLs and their friendship ending

Hey I was wondering what muggle jobs would each of the Weasley family members have if they where muggles

Lets be honest, if any of the villagers that almost got attacked actually saw the rat they would have most likely only seen it because it was riding the deer into battle. Like you wouldnt see a dark rat on a dark dog in the middle of the night but you would see a dark rat on a light colored deer. That is the ONLY way they could have seen all 3 and I am not mad about it. The dog body slams the wolf out of nowhere followed by a deer going into bucking mode while a rat clings to life on one of his antlers 😂

I’ve always assumed that the incident with Snape happened during their fifth year but after Sirius turned 16.

As far as I can tell, the chapter art is definitely Lupin. In Chapter 9: Grim Defeat, we catch a glimpse of Sirius, and the animal depicted there is a completely different creature (a black dog versus a greyish-white wolf here).

Also could be true.

Lupine having near misses was probably brushed off by the fact that the forbidden forest is supposed to have wear wolves in it.

So, what does Voldemort do with that conclusion? For now, I think he wants to gather more information and does decide to send a Death Eater to kill Harry. After all, he doesn't really believe it will work, he just wants to make sure that he's correct. And he also has the perfect candidate: One Draco Malfoy.
I think that Halfblood Prince plays out much the same as always. Draco still has to either assassinate him in secret or bring in the other Death Eaters, because once it's done, he's got to run and definitely won't be able to fight off the teachers. Also, he still doesn't want to do it, even if it's much more personal.
On the train, he's handed a pretty good opportunity, but still "just" stomps Harry's nose and sends him back to London. After all, as far as he knows, Harry might've told his friends that he would spy on the Slytherins, which would definitely narrow down the list of suspects once Harry's body is discovered.
The assassination attempts probably don't change all that much. The necklace is already just selected for its ability to kill rather than any connection to Harry. It also stands a much better chance at arriving at its intended target, although since Katie doesn't notice Harry in the Three Broomsticks (I think), the scene still plays out as usual. And since Harry is rather close to Slughorn, he also might assume that the Mead would reach Harry through Slughorn, via a Slug Club meeting.
And Draco is bound to notice that Harry is with Dumbledore on the night of the lightning struck tower. I think he might be under the Cloak when they meet Rosmerta, but since this is the night he's planned the attack, he'd probably be keeping tabs on Harry and would know he's entered Dumbledore's office. Since he knows about the Cloak, it wouldn't be far fetched for him to assume that Harry accompanied Dumbledore invisibly when he left.
What about Snape, then? He consents to helping Draco kill Dumbledore because Dumbledore asks him too. My guess is that Snape also takes the Unbreakable Vow to help Draco kill Harry, but this time of his own volition. Let's look at the conditions he agrees to:
> Will you, Severus, watch over my son, Draco, as he attempts to fulfil the Dark Lord's wishes?
That's what he has to do anyways, even just to protect Harry.
> And will you, to the best of your ability, protect him from harm?
That's what he does by preventing Draco from killing Harry: Protecting Draco's soul from harm.
> And should it prove necessary... if it seems Draco will fail... will you carry out the deed that the Dark Lord has ordered Draco to perform?
This is the tricky part. But here's the thing: Snape already thinks that Voldemort intends him to take over once Draco's failed. So, he has two options. Refuse and pretend he tried to do it. Or refuse and die. He chooses the second one. In doing so, he also casts Sacrifical Love.
I quite like this ending for Snape, but story isn't over yet. What happens then? I think that Dumbledore succumbs to the curse that very night and Harry is pretty much left in the same place as before. Voldemort, meanwhile, still thinks there's a Harrcrux out there and spends most of Deathly Hallows looking for it. When he learns that his own Horcruxes are gone, however, he still returns to Hogwarts and the battle starts.
EDIT: My bad, still not done, though I'm almost there.

Regarding the review theory, I guess the question is whether Voldemort would even understand why he couldn't kill Harry this time, because he thinks that he's already overcome the sacrifice by taking his blood. So I think he would still attempt to retrieve the prophecy next, hoping that that would explain things, and Order would still play out as usual.
When the prophecy is lost, he has to resort to speculation. My best guess there is that he projects his own plans and ideals onto Harry and assumes that Harry himself has somehow become immortal. How? He can probably guess that Dumbledore destroyed the philosopher's stone. He'd also know how exactly unicorn blood affects humans and it doesn't sound like it would actually stop Avada Kedavra (since fake Moody didn't say so). From the known methods of achieving immortality, that would leave Voldemort's preferred one: Horcruxes.
Even if he knows other methods, I think he would naturally gravitate towards Horcruxes, because, again, they appeal to him the most and he would be arrogant enough to assume that that makes them the objectively best choice. The big question would then be how Harry would've created a Horcrux. I think Voldemort could come up with two options. I think he didn't actually witness Quirrell die, instead ditching him the moment it was obvious it would, so from his perspective, Harry could've finished him off. Additionally, destroying the Diary killed the soul within, so I could see Voldemort not being sure whether that was enough to split Harry's soul.
I can come up with two objections to Voldemort believing in a Harrcrux (sorry). One is that Harry can cast a Patronus. However, I don't think Voldemort understands Patronuses (Patroni?), so that probably doesn't even occur to him. The bigger question is that of knowledge and ability. Would Voldemort assume that an eleven or twelve year old Harry could create a Horcrux? I think that by now, yes. Said eleven year old Harry bested Qurriel, which could still be attributed to luck and Dumbledore's help, but then also the Diary and the Basilisk a year later, without assistance (as far as Voldemort knows). So there's the ability.Where could the knowledge have come from?
Obviously, Dumbledore. I think Voldemort assumes Dumbledore knows how to create a Horcrux and just chooses not to, out of fear for his own soul. But if Harry made the Horcrux, Dumbledore's soul would not be in danger at all and since Voldemort doesn't understand love, he could even assume that Dumbledore manipulated Harry into killing Quirrel and then creating a Horcrux in order to aid the fight against Voldemort.
Edit: Didn't mean to finish the comment here, I'll continue in the replies in case somebody sees this just now and responds to the unfinished commend.

Lupin! I think it’s Lupin; the chapter art looks more wolffish to me, not dog-like, but like an omega wolf 🐺, like a submissive wolf (if that makes sense). Not like a powerful “ALPHA” wolf or anything like that … Remember: Lupin didn’t WANT to be a werewolf to begin with … 😊 Also, maybe James (or Sirius) performed like a small memory charm to those villagers so they don’t “talk”!! Sorta like Lockhart does, but a lot less powerful!! 😅 Also, didn’t Bellatrix kill the poor fox 🦊?? Or did she just TRY to kill it? If it’s really Kingsley, then … 🤷🏽♀️ And didn’t you already answer the “What if Lupin wasn’t bitten?” question in a Review? Or was it for the Owlery? And, and maybe Dumbledore asks/told Lupin not to reveal Snape’s secret (that he loved Lily) to Harry so Lupin kinda “skated around the truth” here, too, out of respect for what Dumbledore asked him to do … 🤔 Also, I think you guys are forgetting about Firenze’s prophesy about Harry “having” to die in the forest, aren’t you?? … 🤔
