I definitely agree with you , and this would have been my answer as well but the question says if he knew their relation from the very starting , I think if he did things would have been different as his father would have openly acknowledged Hassan as his son , as you said amir treated Hassan as a servant , if he would have been aware of their relation than he would have done something , even if it meant collecting people to help Hassan , but this question is completely hypothetical , because if this relation was actually revealed in the very beginning , things would have been different for hassan too , he'd be educated , trained and no body would dare to put a finger on hassan . Its a very vague thought but if Hassan and amir grew up together as siblings and not as a master and a servant , I think amir would have been different too , because he obviously wanted his baba's attention and he'd definitely put in efforts for winning his affection .
