If there hadn't been a war on, and if i hadn't been spending so much time drilling Molly in the fundamentals- and therefore getting in all kinds of extra practice myself- I would never have considered attempting to create such a complex focus. it was far more complicated than anything i'd done before. five years ago, it would have been beyond me completely. more to the point, five years ago, i wouldn't have been as experienced or as strongly motivated.
yes the fire pointed out a flaw in his bracelet that his enemies had started to figure out. but if he hadn't gained Molly as an apprentice he would never had increased his skill up enough to created it at this time. so yes fire gave him the idea but his time with Molly gave him the ability to create it. so if i had to decide, i would say this goes under the Molly sub-section. i mean he had the broken bracelet for awhile and didn't remake it until after he had taken Molly as apprentice.

The bolded part allows me to say that both are important, but your right that Molly's education plays a very (maybe the most) important part. My battleship reasoning is still taking time to turn to port though, so I haven't decided to change places... yet...

Gaining an apprentice was a major turning point in his magical education, but really has nothing to do with molly herself.

However, one of the main points of this list is to examine things in terms of how players behind the scenes may be manipulating events so that Harry is getting stronger, and Molly becoming his apprentice does seem to be something that Harry was manipulated into by Mab

Ask yourself why Mab had Molly brought in. What chain of events did that set in motion? What secondary effects came about because of it? Ultimately, Mab can always go to the Wyld and draw in more muscle to replace fallen thugs. If worst comes to worst, with just a few "seed" fae, she could rear up enough Changelings to repopulate her cadre within a human generation or two--nothing, to a being thousands of years old.

fair enough I suppose, though with those particular events you could argue just as easily that it was Lily/Summer or the WG or the Gatekeeper

Oh, for sure. I think it's almost as likely that there is as much of a conspiracy to help Harry get strong enough to combat The Bad Things to Come as is likely there is a conspiracy to bring about The Bad Things to Come. I'm not even certain they are 2 different groups.

My new theory: Loki did it.
He's playing both sides to bring about Ragnaroc because that seems to be his job :D
Quantus:
Actually I think Odin did it, with collaboration from Lea. Either that or it was somebody who could know that he was going to get a direct teleportation portal (not some NN trail) back to Chicago, and would thus be able to get there in time. Well, that and Lea's definition of "aggressive negotiations" with Odin seems like there may be more to it.
