A Fallen scorned (GS spoilers)
Rogue_Nine:
That's exactly what I was getting at. Lash herself brought up in White Night that Harry couldn't possibly understand what she was created for:
"I was brought to life by the Word of the Almighty himself, for a purpose so complex and fundamental that you could not begin to comprehend it."
Given that Lasciel was a lower order of angel, I'd imagine that Uriel's purpose is like that, only squared to the fifth dimension when it comes to Harry (or us) understanding it.
Transkaren:
This is an interesting idea. Of course, I subscribe to the opposite idea - that Lash isn't 100% gone, and has in fact been recovering slowly (and with Knighthood, completely).
Here's my thought process:
-Harry had access to Hellfire. This is an incredibly rare resource; effectively only available to evil angels and those that access their powers.
-Harry has access to Soulfire. This is an incredibly rare resource, from what we've heard. Angels are confirmed to use it, and I don't recall anyone else short of god-like beings having had it.
I don't have the books handy, but Harry was told he was given Soulfire access because he resisted the shadow. What if it's more than that? What if, by resisting the shadow, he turned the shadow to the Light again, enough that the entity tried to sacrifice herself to save Harry? The entity of Lash could have survived in the damaged brain - and has been trying to return.
Fastforward to Ghost Story, at the end. Harry was kept alive by a group of 4 entities: Demonreach kept him fed/watered, Mab gave him breath, Uriel protected his soul, and "the parasite" kept his heart beating. Why would the Fallen that convinced him to kill himself do that? It makes little to no sense - but if he had two fallen shadows? One light (Lash), one dark (Lasciel)? That would make some sense.
(Please, tear this theory apart)
TheCuriousFan:
We have confirmation that Uriel was the one who granted Harry Soulfire for one.
We also have him possibly channeling Hellfire on the way to the White Council chambers in Changes.

Sorry to derail this but......

You’ve just learned that the Harry Dresden has outsmarted your mental construct. You’ve lost face with your fellow evil cohorts, and Hell hath no fury like a Fallen scorned. What do you do next? Why, you make the wizard as miserable as possible, and then you kill him. How does one accomplish that?

Did anyone one else read this and think "whisper words into an author's ear"?
Otherwise... it is a great idea

So that's why Harry's life sucks so much.
