I recall the Justin one, but not that he used the same phrase to describe Harry. I thought the Word of Jim mentioned in the OP was Jim flat out saying "Harry is as dead as Justin," which puts a different spin on it.

I'll take you at your word that he used the same phrase.

I've been pretty sure that Justin's still alive anyway. There's just no way that Harry doesn't get answers by the end of things. Personally, I think that Mirror Mirror will reveal that Justin's alive over there, which freaks Harry out, so he goes looking for him in the Prime universe.

I'm not entirely sold on Cowl being Justin, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. It's one of several possibilities I entertain. It has a certain symmetry, especially with the Outsider influence in White Night. And, you know, the White Court shenanigans taking place with He Who Walks Behind was kind of a cluebat.

Rasins:
While it's not a deal breaker for me, if Justin is Cowl, I'll be disappointed.

Justin is dead and gone.

A. Knows about Bob.

--- End quote ---

I suspect, given the White Court intel reports on Harry's place that get mentioned in BR, knowing about Bob may be more widespread than Harry assumes.


--- Quote ---C. Reference to seeing Harry for himself is that he needed to see how Harry had turned out for himself, not that he had never met Harry. If Justin is Cowl, he hasn't seen Harry since Harry got the drop on him as a boy.

--- End quote ---

Works equally well with Cowl being some other member of the cabal Justin and Maggie and Lord Raith were part of; and since the mention of Simon Pietrovich having a female apprentice, I have been pretty much entirely convinced Cowl is Simon, with only about a 5% chance that "Cowl" is one identity used by a number of different people working together whenever they have to deal with other supernaturals.
