Dresden Files: Series Timeline
Priscellie:
And ack! I realized my statement "works with Knight Rider timeline" is no longer accurate. I made note of that in the timeline before Ghost Story was written, and in Ghost Story Harry states that he was 13 when the show was on. I didn't notice when I was betaing that in order for that detail to fit, Harry would've had to have been born between 1968 and 1973, which directly contradict the David Copperfield stage name timeline.
An easy retcon/explanation could be that Harry was watching Knight Rider reruns, but I'm not sure if the show did reruns on Fridays in 1987-1988.

It's Butters' certainty that causes me to pause over that detail. Unless Butters assumes Harry is a few years older than he really is (maybe the same age as Murphy?), I'm considering it a conflict.

It wouldn't be that off an assumption -- as Professor Henry Jones, Jr. once said, "It's not the years, it's the mileage." Harry's been through a lot, it wouldn't surprise me if people tended to assume he's older than he actually is.
(Doesn't even have to be that -- could be his manner and old-fashioned-ness. When I was a Freshman in HS, people thought I was a senior because of how I spoke; Sophomore year, someone mistook me for a teacher for the same reasons. I once very nearly got served whiskey at 16 when I jokingly ordered it. I could go on.)

Don't smallpox vaccinations leave distinctive scarring? I forget the exact context of Butter's remarks, could he be referring to that?

They do, but Butters hadn't had any opportunity to see Harry's arms at that point.

I can't find proof, but I am fairly certain that Knight Rider did rerun after it ended. Reminds me of how I remember being a big fan of the original Star Trek, even though I was only about 4 or 5 when it ended. I used to watch it on reruns in the early 70's.
