Nicodemus

Getting rid of an obstacle to Nic's further goals, who also knows the one way to kill him, would be a great reason to try and murder Harry. Especially since he tried to do just that once before, and that was before Harry even knew Nic existed.

Well, one way, at least.
The noose can only help him if it stays on. A big enough explosion or bullet to completely destroy his neck and knock the noose off, and he's done for. Which means he's probably got more to fear from Marcone's hired vengeance and their tendency to use overkill-level firepower in at least the short to medium term.

This is always brought up, but how do we know the noose doesn't protect itself? A two millennia old piece of rope that didn't snap as harry pulled on it in earnest and was farther unaffected by the cold lake water? just like the shroud of Turin, that thing shoulda fallen to threads. It didn't though.
Mira:
--- Quote --- believe Deirdre was sincere about describing their purpose to 'save the world' mostly because it would have been a stupid lie to entirely make up. There was never any chance that would deceive Harry into second-guessing whether they might be justified after all, and she had to have known that. She was flaunting that she knew something he didn't, not trying to talk him over to their side.

I believe she was also, but it is a matter of point of view, what is saving the world to one is ending it to another..

What's more, it can presumably protect him from huge Holy Swords attempting to decapitate him. If anything could cut the Noose that would be it, and removing the Neck should be a reasonable way to remove a necklace. The Knights certainly seem to favor decapitation as a goto tactic (for good reason).
