The curse on MacFinn
Paviel:
That could be because, as a demon, he can't make clear statements about anything TWG does; and based on what Bob said about how much power it takes to cast the Loup-garou curse on one person, let alone an entire bloodline, it was almost certainly TWG who had cursed the MacFinns.
Kindler:
"Bastard" is closer to "illegitimate" in that regard, and Tera and Harvey were engaged, so I doubt that Fitz's name is a reference to Harvey's untimely death.
We're not done with Tera West yet. Listens-to-Wind knows her; he sends Harry her regards in Summer Knight, if memory serves, so there's another connection there. I really want a story where Tera calls the Alphas and Listens-to-Wind to protect her son. I need more Alphas.
I do think she was pregnant at the end. I don't think Jim would've added that bit about his bloodline never ending and having him be in a committed relationship for no reason. I don't think we've seen that child yet, but we might in the Young Adult series.

That's pretty much of an extreme reach. There's no reason Chaunzogorroth can't speak clearly on such matters, if he wants to. Likewise, it doesn't take a particularly huge amount of power to create such a curse, just a lot of skill. Harry thought it was likely he could break the curse with his own death curse, so we're not talking about cosmic levels of power.
The way to bet is the Chaunzogorroth lied with a technical truth, 'it is said'. It's what fits Occam's Razor.

Incorrect. According to Bob...
--- Quote ---Someone has cursed them to become a wolflike demon, and usually at the full moon. That someone's got to be really powerful, too, like a major heavy-weight sorcerer or a demon lord or one of the Faerie Queens.
--- End quote ---
Why would a curse inflicted by a major heavy-weight sorcerer, demon lord, or Faerie Queen rather than by TWG be attributed to St. Patrick? Or was St. Patrick himself a major heavy-weight sorcerer?

Patrick couldn't have been all bad; I agree with his policy on snakes.
