5. Did Reverse-Flash Alter The Timeline?

The Flash Flashpoint Questions

In a cruel turn of events for Barry, in order to get back to his normal life he has to allow the one thing he wants to stop more than anything - and not only that, but he's got to ask for it as well.

Reverse-Flash once again kills Nora Allen, wiping out Flashpoint and restoring the original timeline. But since things are still a bit different, could Eobard Thawne have known what would happen?

After all, he's the one who plays the 'hero', and who tries pushing Barry into changing things back in the first place. Could he have deliberately done something in the knowledge of what would happen, or at the very least had knowledge things wouldn't be the same?
