So why is Parasite causing the same type of headaches as the ones Harry experienced when his mind was apparently Mabipulated? Specifically, the "pain in the temples", which are attributed to the Parasite in CD, but were previously described during his lapses (SmF blasting rod; TC LC).
:o Oooooooohhhh....
Maybe Mab isn't causing the headaches. Nor is her manipulation of his mind. When you think about it, Mab should be able to leave no trace of her manipulation, right?
But what if the headaches are the Parasite's attempts to draw his attention? What if it's Lash trying to point a neon sign at the parts of Harry's brain that Mab manipulated?
The first time, in regards to the blasting rod, Harry doesn't hear Michael say the words. His mind is prevented from even recognizing those words together. But then he has the shooting pain, and he remembers the words, and then their relationship to him.
The second time, Harry seems to have no recollection of LC. He sits and tries tracking spells in the circle in his lab. It's not until after he tells Molly that he hesitates after saying he has no idea what to do next that he has the shooting pain.
What if Lash was saying "Blasting rod, idjit!" and "Try LC, idjit!", and it came across as ice-picks-to-the-temples headaches.

according to SmF, the headaches are natural reactions to when someone changes a person's memories. If you recall, harry had his firsts et when mab took his blasting rod.

No, when Mab manipulated Harry in SmF, she froze his eyes and kissed his ear. That's presumably when she laid her memory compulsion on him. And it may have triggered Lash. What if the resurrection of Lash was partly -- accidentally -- induced by Mab's memory manipulations?
Then the headaches occur when her compulsion kicks in. Lash is trying to warn Harry, causing the headache.

problem with that theory is Mab swore to stop messing with his head at the end of GS- and some of those headaches were damn convenient for Mab

b) Not be noticed/or mentioned later by Bob the Skull
-- also lampshaded in cold days. Mab always knew bob was there; Harry notes this in CD

Wait, I think I must have missed this. Where does it say Mab always knew Bob was there?
