the main problem i see with this that harry was having increasingly bad migrains for months before the beging of turn coat nice idea though

Bear in mind that when Harry was about to execute Arianna at the end of the duel, he made note that she was skewered in numerous places by the shards of ice that he directed towards her including the one in her stomach. Unless Arianna could ignore the spike that opened her blood reservoir, (which makes Ramps weaker than kittens), I find it unlikely that she could have managed to attempt any spell against Harry with a single word just before he craters her.

Good point...but think about this...it didn't work. If it was the Corpsetaker's spell, Arianna would own Harry's body, and Harry would be non-existent.

Exactly, it wouldn't have worked for her with the pain she was in and the loss of her blood reservoir, and Corpsetaker herself had difficulty assaulting Harry's mind when she was still alive (she would have eventually taken him but he was making her work for it) so I doubt that Arianna would have been able to do better, especially when she was not a frequent user of that technique. (Body Swapping, Ramps were known to be able to exert some mental influence, but never swapping since that ultimately would have been in their eyes a losing proposition.)

I'm rereading Dead Beat right now, and another parasite possibility just occurred to me: Bob.
When he's doing his megalomaniac villain act, he forces something into Harry's mouth and then cackles that it's too late. And now he's asking for a back up vessel. I've previously been of the parasite=Lash camp, but now I wonder, especially because Bob has been known to strike bargains with people. And it did sort of burst out of his skull ... his enchanted one.
