xakko:
When Molly removed Harry's memories in Changes, she inadvertently changed him, transferring some measure of her feelings for him.

wizard nelson:
maggie had lasciels coin, gave it to nick.(source)(source-wizard nelson
ok now if you don't think its good you can declare wizard season ;)
Cenphx:
This is not a full fledged theory, as such, but all the talk about Mavra as the potential suspect for SF-FM-BR-LH made me think of it again. It started out as a question to see what everyone thought . Then after talking about it and rereading the specific section, I became convinced of this point:
Mavra was not attempting to kill Harry at the beginning of Blood Rites, but was gunning for Thomas because he betrayed her. http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,32151.0.html
Don't ask me how he betrayed her. I have no satisfactory answer.
wizard nelson:
the attack on the well was to 'kill' and release the prisoners beyond the outer gates, for reinforcements.

Some thoughts and requests (I'll also add theories if I see other theory's in the section do not have links) :
General
Maybe this is just happening to me but whenever I click the sources links they always direct me to the 1st page of the relevant thread. Wouldn't it be more convenient for the links to direct you to the page in which the theory is proposed?
If "only theories which have already been widely discussed/criticized by the community can be nominated" than why do many of the theories here not have links? Even if we can't find the original thread it was discussed in, shouldn't we at least be able to find a thread it was discussed in (presumably the one which made us decide that the theory has been widely discussed/criticized? Even if there are multiple threads discussing it and we can't find all of them, even one link is better than no links. Should we really have theories with no links here?
Black Court
I would like to request that the "there is a link between the Black Court and the outsiders" rating have a bracketed sentence next to it that says that the theory changes to Highly Speculative if Harry meant Black Council and Black Court is a typo.
Blackstaff
I checked both the links to the "Blackstaff is MW's walking stick" theory and I don't think it deserves the Very Strong Evidence rating. Jim said that the WC stole the blackstaff from someone who really wants it back. This...does not narrow things down. The only indicator that we have that MW is the one who wants it back is that Jim is a self proclamed "lazy writer". I'm not saying that the theory isn't strong, just that it doesn't deserve Very Strong Evidence status. I think that it should be changed to blue.
Blood Rites
Theory:The thing seen behind Kincaid could be a symbolic representation of Drakul.
EDIT: I think this quote from page 189 of the DFRPG: Our World, under the "Mavra" entry:
--- Quote ---She looks exactly the same to the Sight as she does to normal vision.
--- End quote ---
Pretty much debunks the "Mavra under veil seen in Sight behind Kincaid" theory.
HW belts
Why is Raith making the HW belts rated Strong Evidence? We have seen no indication that he is a practitioner (in fact, he often recruits women to do magic for him) and Harry himself says that only about 3 people in the entire White Council could make them.
Mothers Winter/Summer
The "they are God" theory doesn't have a rating (and since the G is capitalized, shouldn't it say the White God?).
Parasite
Theory: the parasite is Nemesis (this doesn't have to contradict the Walker theory either).
Swords
Theory: Faith Astor is going to take up Fidelacchius (link: http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,35837.0.html) I know it doesn't have 3 pages of discussion but hey, at least I have a link.
Outsiders
The third Walker could also be called He-Who-Walks-Between.
Numerology
Here's a link to the thread where the theory originated: http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,35403.0.html
EDIT:
Drakul
On page 77 of the DFRPG: Our World, under the "half demons" entry, the books says:
--- Quote ---Vlad Drakul is one example
--- End quote ---
Note that they don't say he could be one or that he's probably one. They outright say he's one. Does this downgrade the rating of the "Drakul is the scion of a dragon" theory?
