In the start of the first book Elena's parents have been dead for 3 years. |
At the start of season one Elena parents have dead for 3 months. |
|
Margret who is Elena little sister(in the books only) Didn't know much about her parents since they were killed when she was a baby, so their death didn't affect her much. Plus the parents really didn't get to really know their 2nd child, that much. |
Jeremy who is Elena younger brother(in the show only) Knew much about his parent since they were killed when he was around 14,according to the flashback during season 3 finale. Plus their death did affect him a lot, to cause him to use drugs, early in season 1. Plus they parents did get to know their 2nd child for 14 years before they were killed.
