I like it.
I especially like the helpful old man bit. Perhaps uriel was there to pick up some new blood for his office? Carmichael just kicked it after all. Perhaps he stopped to lend harry a hand on the way/get a look at him upclose?

Woah. Cool call. Combined with the "wherever you go there you are" point Griff brought up, this makes for 3 flags for placing Uriel on the scene.

Sounds legit to me. Are there any other places specifically mentioned "old men" pop up for a second? DB there's the guy that sells pumpkins and helps harry to his car. Any more?

I do want to point out that I was the first to point out the connection between "No matter where you go, there you are" in Ghost Story and the same line in Fool Moon. Not to pat myself on the back or anything, just clarifying things in giving myself some due. Ok, patting myself on the back...guilty.

I just was reading Fool Moon Ch. 20 and ran across the following regarding Harry meeting his subconscious and trying to get away from him.
My double slipped around me and got in my way before I could leave teh circle of light. "Hold it. You really don't want to do this." I'm tired. I feel like shit. I'm hurt. And what I really dont want is to waste any more time dreaming about you." I narrowed my eyes at my double. "Now get out of my way." I turned to my right and started walking toward the nearest edge of the circle. My double slipped in front of me again, apparently without needing to cross the intervening space. It isn't that simple, Harry. No matter where you go, there you are." End.
Now the above phrase "No matter where you go, there you are" is the same statement that Uriel tells Harry in Ghost Story when Harry says the following. "Just tell me something. Something useful. I'll be happy with whatever I get." He (Uriel) pursed his lips and thought about it for a moment. Then he said, "No matter where you go, there you are."
Ok. Now is Uriel wanting Harry to consult this "Subconscious Harry". It in my opinion seems that way.

But the Fae work in half truths and misdirections, and there's enough leeway there to allow for Uriel to have already been aware, and that event simply elevated his interest. It's also possible that Uriel went non-linear, and has watched Harry in the past because of something he did in the future. That type of thinking makes my head hurt.

I thought of Mab's comment too, suggesting Uriel only decided Harry was worthy of notice after he resisted Lash for so long.
Of course, Mab isn't omniscient - she could be plain wrong, in addition to speaking vaguely.
