Was the winter court after molly longer than we realize?
lynde4:
Well, I have a feeling that Winter's eyes rested on Molly about as soon as Winter realized she was magical, which was probably rather early in her life.

Heya, I found a WOJ that directly addresses this question.

Is the Winter Court interested in Molly?
Lea’s offer (back in Grave Peril) was a pretty generic, “Give me your first child” offer, as opposed to “Hey, I specifically want that one.” But Molly is unfortunately in a position where she’s going to get noticed by all kinds of things that intent her no good, and the Winter Court may be among them, yes. But that’s what you get for hanging around with Dresden, it rubs off on you. (This answer almost directly contradicts the implications in the first WoJ in this section -Serack)

Fwiw, the WOJ Serack is talking about is this:

"Mortal Children are so sweet. And can be bent and shaped in so many, many ways. Your eldest daughter, I think, would-" Lea to Michael page 243

If so, that would imply that I was thinking about seven years ahead. I mean, I would have to be, to have written something like that back when I did Grave Peril, which was way before the books actually *sold*. It would mean that I'm doing a lot of stuff on purpose, given that, you know, Molly actually wound up /in/ the Winter Queen's fortress, with Lea (Mab's chief advisor) actually /right there/.
Hell, if I'm doing that, why not assume that I planted stuff in Storm Front that I don't intend to come out until the big old apocalyptic trilogy's finale?
That would be kinda nerdy, dontcha think? :)

PS--I'll be answering the rest of these, honestly, as I have the time.

I think Jim is being coy.
Though I love the idea of Jim going back and identifying potential easter eggs for down the road, rather than having intentionally put them in way back when.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE easter eggs.

He says he's ended up working out a few things like this, like wizard longevity being related to Harry's ability to recover from injuries long term.
As for pretty deliberate Easter eggs, there's a gorgeous one about Molly in the third paragraph of Small Favor, and I've theorized that Uriel showed up in book 2
You're probably aware of the famous light saber comment from Butters in Ghost Story, and the theories that Lacuna's name is a direct reference to the Latin word for a gap, as in between teeth, making her the tooth faerie.

The Ghost Story thing is cool.
But the Uriel theory would REALLY impress me.
I mean I know Jim is a Genius, but that would be really cool.
