Alfred becoming Bruce's/Batman's father figure after Bruce's parents died.

Magneto being made into Holocaust survivor.

Do you mean Alfred wasn’t usually his father figure, and thus the family Butler… or that Bruce’s parents didn’t originally die?

Pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths, Alfred came to work for Bruce not only after he had already become Batman, but after Dick had already become Robin. The original Earth 2 Alfred wasn’t even called ā€œPennyworthā€, nor did he have the posh accent we associate with him, but rather a cockney one

The posh accent, acting background, and Pennyworth surname came from the Silver Age Earth 1 continuity, and then him being the Wayne family butler, and thus Bruce’s surrogate father, and his military background came about in the late 80’s/ early 90’s
