Duck, you can't just throw around these conspiracy theories and expect to not get hurt. There are people in the highest eschelons of society that have secrets - secrets they have no intention of making public. Secrets they will go to great lengths to keep hidden.
Tread cautiously.

I 'know' Mab ;D
Spaced Cowboy:
I guess Mabs precognition wouldn't have to really be precog if Mab = Molly. She's just remembering, right ? Which gives Jim the ability for a god-like entity to suddenly lose a crutch on which she's relied for so long...
Hmm

Hello and welcome !
Yah, the Molly=Mab came first, then Mb/LC came later when too many people choked on the time travel. they are really the same theory: How does Mab know whats going to happen?
xebo:
Duck, the "Mab" theories are all dependent on her being neigh omnipotent. It just seems like such a cop out. How could she know that steering Harry toward Demonreach wouldn't have gotten him killed? She manipulates things at the very beginning, but it seems as though nothing ever goes wrong for her (despite the summer fire thing). She's basically all knowing.
It's just...it's bad writing. And I hate to say that, because I love Jim's work. But an omnipotent being that guides the story is, well, bad writing.
Really, can anyone here confidentially say that mab isn't all knowing? She freaking knows what's going to happen. I swear, that's the biggest reason why I agree with your Time Travel theory, Duck. Because it's the only way Mab's actions are evenly remotely believable - She's seen it all before. Any other excuse requires Mab to be able to see events 20 steps ahead of everyone else, which basically makes her infallible.
So, assuming Jim is a fantastic writer, which is a safe assumption, then we can also assume that Mab has knowledge of the future. Which means Mab either owns a crystal ball, or she's traveled back in time after experiencing these events once, and is using her knowledge of the "future" to skilfully manipulate people/events.
Now, the Gate Keeper can see events in the future. Maybe Mab just has a more souped up version of his power. Maybe, because of her position, she can do whatever she wants with that knowledge. That would explain pretty much everything about her awesome ability to predict and manipulate.
However, assuming she doesn't have a crystal ball, the question becomes, "Who is mab?". Welp, she has power over illusion and fear, she's a woman, she has an interest in Harry (The stone table suggests a very intimate interest in harry), and she has a connection to Lea. Only one candidate comes to mind: Molly.
Edit: Duck, I absolutely love your King Arthur/Merlin theory. I only have one problem with it though: I don't remember the myths ever saying that Merlin banged Arthur. This could put a dent in my fan fiction.
