Was Justin preparing Harry to learn necromancy?
peregrine:
Justin definitely knew that they were both potential Starborn, and that's part of why he chose them. As for exactly why he wanted Starborn, that's all up for speculation. "Power over Outsiders" could mean many things, including being able to enslave an army of them, which would be great if you want an enforcer of your will.

Agreed.
Wouldn't it be funny if Justin adopted both of them, as a breeding pair for more Starborn, and he was enslaving them to his will so that they could take over an army of Outsiders to ...

The above link refers to a post I made a while ago about Justin, Elaine and Harry.
I suspect that like Margaret LeFay, there is something important that we don't yet know about Elaine.
My idea was that Harry called Elaine almost as strong as he is. Harry is in the top 50 to 100 wizards worldwide for his age group. So, I don't think it is possible Justin DuMorne could have found two apprentices that powerful by chance.
We know from Blood Rites that Justin was an associate of Margaret LeFay. I suspect Margaret and Justin worked together to learn how to create a Starborn. After Margaret fled from Lord Raith Justin used that knowledge with Elaine's parents to create a second potential Starborn.
This theory explains why Justin was aware of both Harry and Elaine. It also suggest Justin may have been the reason both Harry and Elaine became orphans.

Or you can just go with the theory that Elaine was not only Justin's student but also his orphaned daughter.

That was more like top fifty to a hundred overall, and that estimate was before a lot of the Council's casualties and Harry's own growth. He's probably at or very near the top if you look only at his age cohort.
