That being said, if it WAS she, we may even be jumping the gun on the WHY. After her bit about "I don't deserve you" in WN, if she's still kicking around anyway, there's a nonzero chance that she did the whisper here to finish herself off and deliver herself to the oblivion she seemed to think she deserved.
Not even my $0.02 - it's too cracktheory to charge for. :)

But Lash had said many times (I don't have the books handy to quote....sorry) that she was all about preserving Harry in order to preserve herself.....self immolation was not her schtick and she cared about *existing*. Lash whispering in Harry's ear is likely not the case because she never existed as far as we know, as something visible outside of the inside of Harry's mind. Her reflective self should have retained her most basic behaviors, chief among which was self preservation.....free will and self sacrifice were learned later. That character never struck me as trending towards a metaphysical kamikaze and it seems most logical (or personally appealing, I guess) that she would be characterized as a parasite and that she would be doing all she was ALLOWED to do to keep her host alive.

ARGH WHAT ABOUT BOB? Did he take down Nazi Bob? Will Harry get back Bob so he can stop being super dork Bob?

Yeah, then he can go back to dirty old man Bob. Makes you wonder where Bob got that from, considering that with Butters he took after Butters' personality.

Lash was already running on Harrys life force before White Night. Anything left of her after White Night would run on his life force as well. If lashes story was not over she had to become a parasite after White Night. She may become something else later.
I do not think Lash can talk to Harry at this stage. She would have done so otherwise and she would not agree with suicidal plans or try to help him survive anyway.

Harry got Bob when he was around 16. Hormones and what not...
