Derek and Laura were BOTH at school when the fire happened. 11 members NOT including Derek and Laura were in the fire. 8 died. That means there are 3 left. Cora and Peter were 2/3 Hales still alive. There is one unnamed Hale still alive. No one is saying laura and derek were in the fire, im stating 8 total people died which was reported, a 11 people who lived in the house/family memebers 8+3=Derek,peter,laura those 3 survived derek and laura were at school when it happen and peter managed to survive. Cora was never mention or introduced tell season 3. thats why I don't understand what you're not understanding. They said 11 people were INVOLVED IN THE FIRE. Not a part of the Hale family. You CAN'T include Derek and Laura in those 11 because they weren't INVOLVED IN THE FIRE, they were away at school.

The 8 that died, Peter, Cora, and the 11th Hale are in that figure. Just because Cora didn't exist until S3 doesn't mean she shouldn't be considered. They could've had it in mind to write in 2 more Hales back in S1.

Besides, it's not the first time this happened. We didn't get an eye color explanation until 308, yet they had Derek have blue eyes in S1 and Jackson in S2, so maybe it was something planned back then that they didn't intend on explaining until it made sense to explain, which happened to be 308. Same with the 2 Hales (one of which are Cora) that survived the fire, besides Peter.
