I have edited the chapter. Please check it out and tell me if the change is fine?

The ability to manipulate magic and spellcasting is what differentiates wizards from muggles.

Yupp. Albert is a squib (or a muggle.) It depends on how you look at it (He has one magical parent and one muggle parent and didn't inherit the gift of magic unlike Niklaus.) Non-magical folk can use magic but they can't manipulate it like wizards. So they can use potions, runes, rituals and alchemy. Any piece of magic that doesn't require spell casting and the manipulation of magic is usable by muggles and squibs alike.

The idea seems too good to just ignore. All the butterfly effect that comes in the fic will be a result of Niklaus' actions only. No major changes to canon itself.

Robert Baratheon is an artificial sapience within the signet ring that Harry wears. He is like the Hogwarts hat. Niklaus created it as a companion to guide Harry. The ring was a hidden apology from Niklaus to Harry for not getting involved with the Dursleys.

Mate, he was using the most powerful shielding magic he had available. Of course.

He is. But even good people can contemplate doing bad things. Doesn't mean he will do it.

Against the average wizard that can't sense magic? Definitely. Against someone who has basic magic sensitivity? They will feel Nathan's movement and arrival.

The majority of people not agreeing with an idea does not make it backward. A large majority of people believed that the germ theory was false.

Imagine it this way. Apparition= I want to get there immediately. Flash step= I want to cover this large distance in a single step. Flash step is slower to execute than apparition and it requires clear line of sight to work.
