Was Justin preparing Harry to learn necromancy?

Dark magic being as much about motivations and results as actual spell casting. Fuegoing someone to murder them in cold blood vs in the heat of battle against demonic forces, etc..

Yup, I do as well, and so far Harry has avoided that simply to murder someone.
Rasins:
I don't believe that Justin was training Harry (and Elaine) to be Necromancers. I think he was training them to be the strongest Wizards they possibly could be. They are both Starborn potential.
I think the last test was always going to be against HWWBh, for either of them.

Cowl didn't. As Kumori put it, Cowl thought he was somewhat impressive, but too rough to be useful.
Corpsetaker was somewhat impressed by his resistance to mental interrogation, but most of her comments and Evil Bob's assessment were during Ghost Story.
Griffyn612:
I think it was Grevane that noted Harry's necromantic power, but that was presumably the remnants of Evil Bob's power after the mote touched Harry.
Evil Bob commented on Harry's worthiness in their encounter, but I don't recall anything else.

Yes, and no, Justin was training them to be enforcers and apparently he wanted to control their minds and thus them. It is unclear how successful he was with Elaine, on one hand we have the images of her totally under his control, yet there are hints because she apparently was able to warn Harry and even helped in his escape depending on the account from Summer Knight and from Ghost Story.. However he totally failed as far as Harry was concerned. So the plot thickens, was Justin under orders from higher up to try and control them? Hints from Harry's flashback in Ghost Story suggests this, but to what purpose and to who's purpose? Because it is unclear if Justin's attempt was for his boss or for himself..
