Just for reference... from "what about bob" you find out that Harry did know his mother but she left at an early age cause she couldn't take his father's constant moving around. In "birds of a feathers" the flashback to when he's in the room and the closet opens, he says, when his father gives him the shield bracelet, that he will find the monster that killed his mother and kill it. It's like he knew his mom but not very well.
I need to find the exact reference or let Darkling list it ;)

You're mistaken. It's sad (I have no life) but I have this episode, line for line, memorized. She did not leave Harry and his father. In fact during the argument with Justin Harry asks him if he's the one who killed his mother. 'Did you kill her?!' 'No. I. Did. -Not-!' Dresden then looks to Bob and asks 'Is he telling the truth?' Bob stammers and then notices the piece of broken table flying for Harry and shouts to warn him. Harry drops on the voodoo doll, Justin dies.
Please don't misquote me.
I don't like finding out months after the fact that someone has been misquoting me to claim the show version of Harry's mother was alive and or that Harry knew her. No. He knew about her. In What about Bob Harry asks Bob if he knew his mother. This is because Harry, himself, has no actual memories of her. Bob replies that he did not know her very well but knew her well enough to know she was a force to be reckoned with.
When Harry's father gives him the shield bracelet in Birds of a Feather Harry asks 'Why wasn't she wearing it?' (he's talking about when she died) and Malcolm says 'I don't know.'
I never claimed the show version of Harry's mother left him and Malcolm and I would fiercely argue anyone who would claim such a thing. There were only twelve episodes but certain things were firmly established for it's mythos.

I didn't quote you. I just said I remember hearing in one of the episodes that he said his mother couldn't take the moving around and had left. I never said YOU said that. I just said if there is that quote, you would remember and list it.
Please read things before you freak out on people and send them private msgs saying things they didn't say.
Thanks! :P

That line is never said. (And it contradicts very important parts of Birds of a Feather and What about Bob). You must have really misheard a piece of dialogue and I think I know which one. I've been part of the weekly view in for two years having only missed it maybe five times, that means I've watched Dresden Files once a week for two years. You got it mixed up. And I think I know where your mistake is. In the Bad Blood episode, Harry's drunk and a little slurry, he mentioned complaining as a child because of all the moving around. Bianca tries to console him by saying that's what children do, they complain. I think you misheard him in that scene. If you have trouble with how he sounded in that scene the closed captions are pretty accurate.
Empty Night:
I'd just like to point out one tiny mistake - in Second City, when Murphy's dad is discussing Harry's family, he says Harry's mother died when he was three, not in childbirth like in the books. (He also calls her a gypsy, which I found really cool.)
