That only works if the headache was actually distracting him from thoughts of using LC, which I don't necessarily buy.  For one thing, people are eager to attribute almost every single headache Harry has to Mab now.

--- Quote ---You're missing the point. We have to assume that Harry would have used LC because he has done it before and he is satisfied enough with how well it works that he keeps going back to it. Would have, that is, if he had remembered to do so.

No Tami you are missing the point.  Take the battery out of your car.  Now go in and start it.  Waste of time.  That is LC without a workable tracking spell.  A car that won't start.

Harry knows for a fact from Proven Guilty that LC does NOTHING unless you get a tracking spell working.  So WHY would Harry use something he knows for a fact will do nothing?  It would be like you sitting there for hours trying to start your car staring at the battery on the ground next to your car.

--- Quote ---We Know that Mab has the power and the opportunity to do so. But, if it wasn't Mab we'd have to ask who else coudl it have been?
If it was just LC, or Just Mouse alone it wouldn't be so significant.
If it was important enough in the Plot for Harry to have his memory if it tampered with about it, then it's no where near Null.

I'm gonna go with Tami on this. 
LC is significant, it had a tarp over it which was quite similar to the tarp over Harry's thoughts about fire in small favor.
SOI would exist so she would have the opportunity to act as proxy for Mab.
Now, before I go any further I need to get familiar with debates at issue and probably reread books in question.

Significant questions though:
Did Harry ever use LC after White Knight?
Did Cowl's attack upon Harry corrupt LC in some capacity?
Was Shagnasty abduction of Thomas a prod for Harry to use LC?
Did the Outsider Faction want Harry to use LC?
Could Harry's use of a corrupted LC hurt/corrupt SOI?
Could Cowl have linked to LC via some thamaturgical spell?

namkcas:
raidem,

Ask yourself one other question before you proceed.

In PG, Harry tried to use LC to track Molly and could not....UNTIL he got Charity's blood at which point a tracking spell can work.  So Harry knows that unless a tracking spell can work, that LC will do nothing.  So, why does LC matter since it won't do anything?

Foxed:
Namkcas, why do you think a tracking spell wouldn't work? I mean, sure, the amulet wasn't with Thomas, but Harry could have tried to use his blood to find his family. If he was desperate, he would have tried it. Or even considered it before dismissing it.
