One was that Leah may have already been infected before the party, just some of her actions speak to that. I also think she was fighting for her sanity just as she was in Proven Guilty when Harry saw her under treatment in ice. Another is what a dupe Bianca was, and that Mavra and others played her like a harp. Last but not least how Susan willingly blinded herself to what was really going on. She covered the supernatural but I doubt that she fully accepted the reality of that world and thus chose to ignore Harry's warnings of the dangers and made that fateful step of stealing the invite to the party.

That's really interesting. Any particular actions? Her particular malice toward Dresden, that's later pretty much gone entirely after Small Favor, does seem pretty out of place. It's handwaved when she says she was trying to protect him, or that she was showing him tough love, or that she's a changeable Fae and can do what she wants (pretty much variably at later points in the series), but it still sticks out pretty far to me.
Quantus:
I personally always found it somewhat off that she was (I fully believe) 100% complicit with Bianca's entire scheme, from Sword to Gravestone, which I think should have conflicted with her Godmotherly duties.

Probably after case files comes out i'll do all the short stories found within, then start on a DF reread. It's actually been awhile now

There's always been something screwy to Lea imo, but yea, I keep trying to reconcile that with her already having gone slightly offkilter working with Margret or something. But then again this could be just Harry and his stupid perspective not seeing just how Bloodthirst(heh) Lea actually is... plus now that I think about it, as someone who takes blood from those she deals with, I find it likely she was tainted vs Mab's decree about no blood dropped in her house.

The Susan thing always bothered me. She has been working with Harry for a while now, has seen the supernatural up close and personal (Toad Demon and werewolves) and still chooses to ignore Harry's warnings about the vampires. That tainted her character for me. Her overall series arc was still emotional for me, but only from Harrys point of view not for her sake (if that makes sense).
As far as rereads go, once PT is announced I will start at the beginning and read to the end incorporating the short stories in the series so I get a timeline accurate lead up to PT.
