Even if eobard, didnt exist, Barry would have gotten his superoewers, as the 'real" harrison wells of the unchanged timeline would have set of the particle accelerator.

Anyways if we think about what eobard said when barry time travelled for the first time, we get confused as he says if history  is altered, time will find another way to do what has been altered. So if barry`s mothers death was murdered, and that was deleted from history, maybe time would have found another way to cause her death...

But in actuality, if time is played with, only the point since time has been altered will have changed. So the past would not have changed no matter what. Like the first time barry traveled, time, nothing changed in the past, but things changed in the future.
