I think Tolkien being important in-universe is unlikely, since the previous Summer Knight's name, Ronald, Reuel, was a shout out to Tolkien. As for Sanya, I just put that down to vague heavenly interference- was there something unusual about his showing up?

I didn't mean that Tolkien was pointed at a target, but that he was semi-clued and wrote what he knew. Y'know, grumpy wizards using staffs, the existence of something called the White Council. Nothing of particular significance to DV continuity.
As for Sanya, I find it interesting that he showed up right when Harry was going to need him. And the Knights can't respond to every kidnapping. Or even every kidnapping by the Rampires-- so why did Sanya respond to this one (and respond by going to Chicago, and not to Maggie? How did he know that this particular kidnapped child had a parent there?) If it's Heavenly meddling, why are they using Sanya to meddle?

I thought he was there to help the fire and then agreed to help harry.

Wasn't the description of Maggie's portrate in Lord Raithe's studdy that she was a tall woman?
Ninja Edit: Found this from his Soul Gaze with Thomas:
--- Quote from: Blood Rites page 167 (nook) ---"She was a tall woman, nearly six feet, and that was in flat sandals."

Ninja edit #2: Here's the passage where Malcom Dresden is called tall. There is a WoJ somewhere dealing with Harry's characterization of a tall man somewhere that I will try to dig up later.
--- Quote from: Dead Beat page 113 (nook) ---Malcom Dresden was a Tall, Spare man with dark hair and steady blue eyes.

Well that's that one out the window, like I said just a silly thought anyway. :)
Serack:
And for the sake of throughness:
--- Quote from: jimbutcher ---To clarify. :)
1) Thomas is barely anything at all under six feet high, when he isn't wearing shoes.
2) He has "natural" blue eyes when he isn't hungry. They get paler and paler, based on how much he needs/wants to feed.
3) Harry, being freakishly tall, mostly drops people into "much shorter than me" or "a little shorter than me" categories.
4) Avatars! Nifty!
5-10) Jim is humanly flawed. :)
