I've proposed that there were three other necromancers running around in DB who didn't show up because time-travelling future Harry disposed of them (and had to do so once he found out they were there in order to make sure history happened the way he remembered it), if that counts.
Eleyctra:
Oh good, a discrepancy theory thread. I've been sitting on one for a while now that I didn't want to spend all on one thread post. It was pointed out to me by my IT Director at work (whom I have converted among many over to the Dresden Files ;)), and he caught it in his first read-through. In my read-through to write this I found another discrepancy (I'll list it after).
In Storm Front, Harry is apparently living in a time warp. (Most likely a typo.)
-Wednesday night, Victor Sells (AKA The Shadowman) uses a ritual curse to kill Jennifer Stanton and Tommy Tomm.
-Bunch of investigating Thursday thru Saturday...
-Late Saturday night, the demon frog attacks and Linda Randall is dead. Harry is called into the scene a short few hours later.
-After leaving the crime scene Harry takes a walk and gets attacked by Gimpy Lawrence and loses some hair. But on Ch16, page 207, "I sort of sagged when he stopped hitting me, and he threw me to the ground. We were at a well-lit gas station, just before midnight on a Friday night, and anything he did was in full view of any cars going by."
-Later in Ch18, Harry walks out of a ruined Varsity after confronting Marcone, "So I walked. It was pretty stupid, in retrospect, walking around Chicago late on a Saturday night."
The other thing I caught on the re-through:
Ch17 page 214-215, "Then I walked back into the parking lot to consider exactly what I had at my disposal. A bracelet on each wrist. A ring. My blasting rod. My staff."
No Mother's amulet? This is the only time in the book and series he has two shield bracelets. Maybe he needed the extra foci at such an early stage in his career?

Your theory doesn't seem to address the ink spot or Mort's haircut. However, if you work in a DeLorean then I think we can accept it.

Sounds like he goofed a little. He was working several jobs, going to graduate school and helping with his young son when he wrote the first 3 books. (all without getting a dime for them)

Interestingly enough, Harry used the end of his staff as a light source in SF instead of his amulet. I think it was when the toad demon attacked and he retreated to his lab. If I remember rightly though, the mysterious woman's hand brought his hand up to the amulet near the end of the book though.
ImpishMortal:
Here's a possible solution worth considering about the location discrepancy of Harry's office that Knnn pointed out: the bombs were placed beneath Harry's office. This would still satisfy them being "around" his office if they placed them for the entire length and breadth pointing up.
Also, I feel like there is something off with the events concerning Lydia in GP, but I can't determine what that is.
