Ok, I read that, sat up straight, and said Holy $***
However, that happened in Chapter 18 of DB while Harry saw that Mort had already shaved his head bald in Chapter 10. Still, this is possible.

In other words his vision is tainted by his own thoughts and ideas. So he sees Mort as natural Mort. I would not be surprised if he saw Murphy as a flaming angel should he come across her.

That's also a great interpretation. Now I've gota go reread Chapter 4 to see if there are any other things that might be clues to this interpretation.
Wow great thoughts on this stuff guys.

If you find any more clues be sure to post, I am so hungry for Dresden and my time machine to propel me 3 weeks into the future is an utter failure. ;D

I think it may have something to do with the ghost he made in Grave Peril. He can remember some things from after, like his death, but his ghost is still the one from GP. He has its memories.

Yea, the whole chapter with Mort just seems off to me. In the first three chapters of the story, you get kinda the weird vibe just because harry is now a ghost, but you're really only interacting with new characters(Carmichael is an old character, but we haven't seen him since book 2, and he was never really that major, AND is now a ghost, so you're expecting some different reactions). Mort though has been seen in 3? of the books now (Grave Peril, Death Masks, and Dead Beat I believe). In GP, he acted like he does in GS-ch4. In Death Masks, doesn't Mort arrange the meeting, on the Fowler show? He acts weird, but not unusually so. In Dead Beat, again he acts reluctant, but agrees to help out, and in the end Harry defeats the Necromancers. Wouldn't that earn him some points with Mort, as harry in effect helped out the spirits he is so fond of by removing the guys who would exploit them, and saving Chicago? But then, Harry dies and he goes to visit Mort, and Mort again acts like Harry is absolutely nothing but trouble. It seems off to me.
I'm really looking forward to this book and seeing how it all plays out. My only worry is that I might not have enough time to finish Dance with Dragons before GS comes out, in which case I'll have to pick Dance up again afterwards. And I also have to finish the last Black Company novel in this re-read before THAT one comes out. July is gonna be a busy month.
Oh, and I didn't see it till writing this post, but does anyone else think its funny/awesome that Mort only shows up in books that have a reference to death in the title, and that he shows up in all of those? :D
