Spoiler for Volume 4:

Take anything that happened in the Yukiverse with a large grain of salt. It was designed to be Yuki's perfect setting to hook up with Kyon, not a simple "world without powers". Thus it was designed around Yuki and Kyon. The changes made to the memories and personalities of Mikuru, Haruhi, and Itsuki were done to get them out of the way, and are not necessarily indicative of "life before Haruhi".
