And in true fae fashion I'd call you back to the attention to the actual wording. Which is less disputable than interpretations on word usage. ;)

I notice hindsight 20/20 one definition is the stars... Mab implying he gave up his power as a starborn to her.... HOLY, just as Harry gets a piece of Mab, I wonder if Mab gets a piece of Harry to fullfil the circuit ???

Yup, your running with Def#1/2, I see it as more likely Def#3. WE can both be right or wrong or any combination, I think.
Re. the Stars thing, wouldnt read too much into that. I think that's just as an extension of astrology being a popular way to study and/or represent Luck; Ive seen "The Cards" and "The Leaves" used exactly the same when those were the preferred methods of fortune-telling.
But until I see something definitive otherwise, I like to think that all his bad financial luck up to and including Larry Fowler is all a result of the universe (or the Fae) enforcing that aspect of his Bargain. Mostly because it amuses me, but also because I honestly read her statement that way.

His next outing after collecting all those diamonds will probably sway you... probably. unless he looses them, dammit ;(

Not an issue, because the original terms of that deal have not been in place since SK :)
Anubissama:
Aren't the terms of his bargain with the Leansidhe void anyway?
Lea sold her claim over Harry to Mab, which Dresden renegotiated into the 3 favours in Summer Knight.
Of which Harry still owes one, I'm sure that will come into play should he ever weasel his way out of being the Winter Knight, but the wording of his deal with the Leansidhe no longer applies.
