[GS Spoilers] Harry's Power Ups
Arjan:
Odin has been known to betray his heroes at the end so they could die in battle and go to Valhalla but I think it a little bit too early for that. And Gard was not seen near him at the end of changes. (click to show/hide)And also not at the first chapters of Gost story

Serack - I LOVE this!
One thing to possibly consider... We have WOJ that one of Harry's primary 'character powers' (exclusive of in-story powers) is his ability to act as a catalyst to make *others* more that they were or (extrapolating a bit) perhaps more than they could have been before. Does that impact or change how we look at / think about Harry's allies?
Toot may be a good example, I think. Something about his interactions with Harry have changed him from simple dew-drop fairy to a creature with some sense of loyalty and ambition - which is sort of odd behavior, at least from what we've seen.
To know how much more powerful *Harry* gets we might need to consider how his *allies* get more powerful/knowledgeable as well...
Thoughts?

Hmmm, I might add a section for "Power Atributes" that don't fit within a timeline because they are inate, and that one will be in it. Good suggestion.
Edit: on 2nd thought I'm going to try adding it as sub bullets to the "born" bullet. Oh, and here's a link to the WoJ you are thinking of. It's very indirect, and I sent the interviewer 2 emails asking if she had any notes or anything from her interview with no responses :(

Except Murphy. She's been offered power, yes, but she declines it. She can take up a Sword any time she wants, but she won't. Harry has to push and prod her to take it up any time he needs her to.
Murphy Started out in Storm Front in charge of Special Investigations. So, not as important as Homicide or Vice or anything, but it was her own department and she was in charge. Then she lost that and became a mere grunt, and now she has lost that too.
Gard even offered her a shot at working for Monoc, where she might have gained special supernatural training, access to large resources, and who knows what else. (Yes, that last sentence was pure speculation on my part)
Power and influence in the mortal world? Lost. Supernatural power. Declined, repeatedly. Murphy is on a downward slope. In a series that has Free Will vs. Power as one of its themes, Murphy has chosen Free Will.
EDIT: I just read what I wrote. Holy crap, the only time she does take power (the sword) is when Harry influences her. He really does influence people to become stronger.
Even when it costs them a little Free Will and an angel turns them into a sock puppet.

wow yes this is true also P1600. not only Toot. i would add in a few others tbh. Mouse, i mean apparently he shouldn't be as powerful away from his place of power. yet as he tells Lea he cheats because he has Harry.
Butters even. he now walks around w/ chalk and has a bp vest waitin for when Harry calls. he goesa from snivelling nervous to just shakey. Morty too, he gives him a boost in confidence after his first talk w/ him in GP.
and yes Murphy, she has gained more confidence facing supernatural. than add in what she has picked up from Harry, knowledge. the inheritted silver for the Loup, her knowledge about the magic dispelling when the sun rises. she has picked up things along the way that makes her far more formidable.
Molly, yes in magic it is obvious, but he also is giving her a stronger moral balance to help her and guide her. he also reunited her w/ her family to help ground her. so she has gained more control over herself which has made her stronger.
Alphas, he gave them a goal which in turn made them focus and become stronger. i mean Billy can even partially self heal now. they push to get better.
