You say "and yet he already has in GP...)." but I don't recall him ever actually meeting Harry at the party. He was present there yes but I don't recall him seeing any of Harry's abilities.

Unless he got out of there really quickly he probably saw Harry vs the vamps (assuming you're talking about Cowl seeing Harry in action).

I am.
My memory is foggy. What did Harry do to the vamps during the fight?

Harry tossed out what was probably his coolest fire spell EVER.
It wouldn't surprise me if it was a death curse powered spell of some sort (since his heart stopped and Michael had to revive him).
It was like a living fire spell that would jump from one vamp to another and engulf them. Sort of like a fire snake (constrictor) spell or something. It was unlike anything that he has used since in many ways.

As much as I like the Simon = Cowl theory...
My most recent re-read of the series has me leaning much more strongly towards the 'Cowl is some sort of Fomor knight or Fomor ally' theory.
Probably the most important factor is that Cowl's various (confusing) motivations are more easily explained if they are taken as part of an overall Fomor strategy.
Both the Fomor and the Outsiders would need to destroy the existing supernatural powers (especially the Sidhe). The same alliance(s) that fought the Black Court could reasonably be expected to oppose the return to power of the Fomor and thus would be obvious targets for the Fomor (and the Outsiders benefit from EVERYONE getting weaker).
A re-read of Dead Beat while specifically thinking about a Cowl = Simon theory made that theory more difficult to swallow as well.
