The truth about Fitz
Dina:
It says: "He was youthfully scrawned, his skin bronze enough to look Native American, though his tangled red hair and pug nose argued otherwise. His eyes were an odd shade of brown, so light as to be nearly golden"
I think one of the reasons that WJM mentioned is quite unconclusive, but all of them together made a solid case (I am not saying is 100% sure, only that it is VERY probable)

Maybe Dina, but why go to all that trouble and then say he most likely not be in any of the future books? Also one more thought, you'd think that Terra West would have done a better job of raising her pup. If he was raised in the Pacific Northwest, raised with the care and wisdom his mother had, what was he doing a stray dog orphan subjugated to a second rate sorcerer bully? One more thing, if he was turning into a Loup every full moon, how come a lot of torn up bodies didn't turn up in Chicago? Heck all those kids, the second rate sorcerer himself? Harry didn't mention seeing any fancy magic circle, the kind that would be needed to contain a Loop. That's where I have a problem, it is easy to jump to conclusions based on his description and the fact that Jim said he was cursed, but when you think about it, it doesn't add up, at least to me it doesn't.

Fitz may well be too young to have had his first transformation. It would be entirely in-genre for such curses to remain inactive "until his 18th birthday"...or 16th, or 21st, or whatever is particularly significant. As far as Tera West's possibly unconventional parenting style, it's worth remembering that she isn't human, and lost her mate, who was human, several years ago.
One thing to remember is, according to the curse, it's almost certain that West and MacFinn had a child. Since we know that they never married before MacFinn's death, that child would be a bastard. Fitz means bastard. He has physical characteristics that resemble Tera West and MacFinn, acts in a semi-wolfish sort of way socially, and we apparently have a WoJ that Fitz is cursed. These are rather a lot of factors to dismiss in order to claim it's a coincidence.
I realize JB's also said that he had no plans to use Fitz as a character again, but you never know. That doesn't contradict any of the above; it could mean that JB doesn't plan to bring the Loup-Garou curse back into the plotline. This makes sense--the Loup-Garou curse was covered in FM, and if it originated from Saint Patrick (who was a bloody idiot, if so), then it doesn't seem to be an integral part of the long-term plotline.
PirateJack:
Besides, Jim's world doesn't solely revolve around Harry. Well, it does, but other people have their own stories too.
Carlos' family has a restaurant and the White Court don't have many operations in LA. Morgan had his love for Luccio. Ebenezar has a truck load of stories mentioned in passing attributed to him. Hell, half of the Alphas left to go do their own thing rather than stay in Chicago to play protector to the city.

Okay, but wouldTera conceive as a human or a wolf? Have one child or a litter of pups? Yes, Fitz means bastard, but people have names like Fitzgerald and they are not bastards, an ancestor was. Surely Fitz knows what is coming if he is indeed her son, yet how long is he going to stick around those kids? I mean can you see Zero leaving him?
