Did Klaus accidentally start the Baudelaire fire?

[Optimism is my Phil-osophy]

I would only like to say that even I, I published Untie My Silence Knot, a person in Tumblr measured me to be DH. He developed a theory that I was DH pretending to be a Brazilian. I can not deny that I felt a strong pride of my work in UMSN. I even started calling my fic only with the initial letters.

I was reading Book 1, and there's this quote:

Back when his parents were alive, Klaus used to take a flashlight to bed with himand hide under the covers, reading until he couldn’t keep his eyes open. Some mornings, his father would come into Klaus’s room to wake him up and find him asleep, still clutching his flashlight in one hand and his book in the other.

Is it possible that he was doing this the night before the fire, and he left the flashlight on? It might've taken hours for a weak flashlight to burn a book and light it on fire, but it should be possible. Plus it was cloudy that day, so it may have been dark enough in Klaus' room for the flashlight to affect the book.

While I am not closing the possibility of Klaus (accidentally) burning down the Baudelaire mansion, a normal flashlight does not radiate enough heat to burn paper and much less an entire enormous mansion. Good theory, though. However, due to the nature of the Baudelaire parents all clues lead to another antagonist responsible for burning it down. I particularly like the theory where they said Ellington Feint was the one who did it but it does not tie up to the chain of arson that happened throughout the series so I bet it's VFD related (I bet Kit Snicket has a hand on it).

Didn't The Beatrice Letter come with pop out letters confirming it was Klaus' fault? They spelled out, like, "Klaus left the oven on," or something like that.

Nah, it said ‘Beatrice sank’.

[Mr. Dent]

No, no, it wouldn't have said that. That's absurd. Beatrice died in the fire caused by Klaus Baudelaire, I'm pretty sure.

Klaus wasn't even home when the fire started.

Bear is a well-established person whose real name is known to many of us, and who has been seen on hangouts. He is not DH.

If DH is here, he must be someone who rarely posts.

but wouldn't it be funny if DH was the most hated member of his own fan club?
kind of like charlie chaplin losing the chaplin lookalike contest.

is that a challenge ?
