* This may supported by Newt's backstory change and how this story already serves as a bit of a mix between the books and their film adaptations. In the original book this is "based" on it was said he graduated Hogwarts, but in the movie it mentioned he was expelled not unlike what happened to Hagrid. There was also a case in the movies where a painting of Newt from later in life can be seen in the Headmaster's Office, even though according to the Pottermore timeline he's still alive in 2015, and those portraits are limited to dead former headmasters of Hogwarts. The question would be if the AlternateContinuity in this case would drift enough to be incompatible with either the book or movie's respective continuities, or [[ForWantOfANail if it could be seen as the "cause" for why the movies turned out differently]].

[[WMG: Jacob and Queenie will eventually leave for Europe because they want to be together. However, they have Jewish surnames so taking inspiration from Queenie’s name, they change it to Prince. They have at least one child, a daughter who they called Eileen. Somewhere in between this and Eileen’s marriage, Jacob and Queenie will die. Eileen will eventually marry Tobias Snape and has a child, Severus Snape. So Snape is Queenie and Jacob’s grandson.

[[WMG: Grindelwald was actually much more dangerous than Voldemort ever was, and the list Most Dangerous Dark Wizards of All Time was just a front made up by the ICW to hide just how much damage Grindelwald had done to the world.]]
Think about it. This was already hinted with Dumbledore's description of Grindelwald. He described them as very nearly equals, that the whole world was literately begging him to intervene, and that Grindelwald seemed unstoppable. Grindelwald also terrorized the ''whole world'' for 25 years, while Voldemort only terrorized Britain and the accumulation of the two wars with him only amounted to 14 years and Dumbledore never had to fight Voldemort directly. He even stated that he had considered doing so only because he cared for Harry. Compare that to how Dumbledore strongly feared fighting Grindelwald yet still HAD to and it's already obvious Grindelwald was much more successful and better.
Then we heard that Newt was involved in the war with Grindelwald, yet the records of him helping and the war itself was suppressed deep by the Ministry. Even Skeeter admitted there weren't much information on his reign of terror so she voiced her suspicion about him being second only to Voldemort on the list. And while Skeeter was a natural liar, turns out she was actually right on this one, given the afromentioned reveal. So what if the ICW found Grindelwald to be so terrifyingly effective that when Voldemort came out, they were more than willing to take advantage of his far greater evil, which in this case actually makes him much less cleverer than Grindelwald, and declare him as being worse than Grindelwald? What if Grindelwald had dealt so much damage to the ICW that they dare not reveal it to the public in fear that many more people may be inspired by him?
* Note that the third film depicts Grindelwald running for SUPREME MUGWUMP. Although he clearly failed, what if the very fact that he ''nearly'' succeeded in becoming one coupled with all the horrifying things he did made the ICW so terrified of the idea of another Grindelwald emerging that they decided to cover his reign of terror as much as they could?

[[WMG: Grindelwald was far more dangerous than Voldemort ever was, much smarter and wiser, stronger and more skilled with magic, and Voldemort taking the top spot on a list of the most dangerous dark wizards of all time is just to cover up some really terrifying feats Grindelwald did]]
Think about it. Not only did Dumbledore describe Grindelwald as being very nearly equal to him in terms of brilliance, which already marks him as being on another level even compared to Voldemort considering how he was so easily beaten down by Albus in his older days while Grindelwald gave Albus in his prime a real fight for his life, but Grindelwald also terrorized the ''whole world'' while Voldemort only managed to ever terrorize Britain. Not to mention Dumbledore never felt the need to confront Voldemort directly but he specifically stated he ''had to'' with Grindelwald. And recently we just heard that records about the war with Grindelwald had been kept top-secret? Man…. That's surely suspicious….

[[WMG: Jacob is a Muggleborn.]]
As shown by Credence, The MACUSA seem to have no way of detecting magical ability, there is also the fact that they are very secretive in contrast to UK magic users. Jacob isn't affected as strongly by the mindwipe potion, and actually eases into the magical world ''very'' quickly, a good example of this is Harry Potter, once he learns of his wizarding heritage, he eases into the magical world, and says a few times, that it feels like home, being a muggleborn, Jacob would have no idea of his magic, and he seems to have had a decent upbringing, so unlike Harry or Credence, he had no risks of his magic going nuts, so he just fell through the cracks.

The 'official' sources say it did, but someone's personality doesn't really change overnight. The reason she joined Voldemort was because of Credence. At some point he told her that he and his sisters were abused by their adoptive mother, and that this abuse caused him to become an Obscurial. Learning this instilled in her a hatred for Muggles in general, which she kept locked away while she was human. Upon her permanent transformation, this hatred came to the fore. Then she met Voldemort and learned of his anti-Muggle and Muggleborn crusade. This is what ultimately led her to join him.

* Rowling says Harry didn’t become an Obscurial because he didn’t know he was a wizard. Assuming Ariana Dumbledore was one too, it makes sense that Albus never tried to make contact with Harry as a kid. If he knew the Dursleys were doing this to beat out the magic, he’d be like Creedence.
