I can see why giving that away takes away options for the show, but I think at this point they have too many maybe, maybe nots. They need to give some definitive answers.
I think when considering red as the father we have two options: 1) red got burned in the fire trying to save his family as someone set that fire to kill him. He sent Lizzie to the friend to raise her.
2) he was the one who set the fire to kill them and failed. And eventually found Lizzie and had a Change of heart to save her instead of kill her.
