It may not have effected Cora as much though because she was very young then. Derek is what? 23? Peter probably even older Cora was still a little girl Derek was maybe 16 or 17 when the fire happened and when he lost whoever this girl is on top of it? That's like his entire world crushing down on him especially as a teenager you understand and feel more losing so much at a time like that. His love interest was murdered and then one day he and Laura come home to find out and see that their family was murdered in a fire started by someone else killing innocent little children humans too. They didn't even believe Cora was alive so Derek probably everything was over everything was lost and by the looks of it she looking back at episode 4 it sounds like she always had hope when she talked about hearing that a Hale family member was an alpha starting a pack and risked getting locked up in a vault for it
