The truth about Fitz
FFguy:
You'll have to forgive me I didn't read all the comments so I hope I am not repeating something.
Serack, some questions for you if you can answer them.
Do you think Fitz will be able to control the change (or be trained to control it) or have his human consciousness afterward?
Does he have a soul or some mixed hybrid of one?
Would this explain why he was able to hear Harry?

Not if you believe Gard in Heoroth. But I see nothing of Gard in Fitz description.

Sure, I'm not Serack. But I think I can address some of your questions.
Wolves are all over mythology for several cultures - sometimes good, sometimes evil. In many cases, especially that of Native American lore, they are somehow linked to the supernatural. Based on Jim's use of mythology and folklorem I think Fitz's ability to perceive things beyond the natural world could be attributed to his wolf heritage (should he turn out to be Tera's son).
Quantus:
--- Quote from: the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh on August 03, 2011, 10:36:45 PM ---I choose to believe that any supernatural being that implies something rather than stating it outright is covering for not directly stating it.
The more obvious the implication, the more I believe this. Because you can't go around sticking "legend has it" before every time you might possibly want an ambiguity.

lol, I think there are clinical terms for that. Maybe even medications ;)
In seriousness though, the other explanation is that they talk like real, normal people and not like they are on a witness stand where every syllable is going to be dissected for hidden meaning and binding literalism. We tend to dissect a bit too much, due mostly to an everpresent gnawing addiction that no amount of text seems able to satisfy, but the characters don't no that. With supernatural beings like the Sidhe, who are bound to tell no direct lie, but famous for twisting around it, I might agree with you. But not every character, supernatural or otherwise, is that focused on it. :)

He had decent shoulders and looked sort of familiar. He was dressed like James Dean—jeans, a white shirt, a leather biker’s jacket." I wonder who Bob looks like, why he looks familiar. Or is it tied in with the following:
“There’s the Bob I know and love,” I said. “Love, ick,” he replied. “And I am and I’m not. I mean, you get that I change based on who possesses the skull, right?” “Sure,” I said. “So I’m a lot like I was with you, even though I’m with Butters, because he met me back then. First impression and whatnot, highly important.” Perhaps Bob's appearance is the amalgamation of past and present owners.

In other part Harry said he looked like Butters, so I guess the familiarity comes from there. I don't think Bob can have children.
