Justine’s heritage
Talby16:
With the lack of new material to go over we could be just be reading into things a bit much. I mean, we all know that Mr. Butcher is not a dangerous mastermind who leaves clues/plot threads in his books that will not be fulfilled until the BAT. Right?

Justine is like 20 years younger than Harry. Since he killed Justin when he was 16, I don't think it's possible for Justine to have been anywhere near Justin.

My reading is closer to ten years. Harry mentions she's eighteen-twenty in Grave Peril, and Harry himself is 28-32, as far as I can recall. That's just enough time for Justin to have Justine, realize she's not a starborn, toss her, and start checking orphanages.
It's probably bunk, anyway.
Ananda:
It’s code*. Justine = Just (a) teen. Butcher was letting us know she was a teenager at the point of introduction. Due to her mental instability compounded by trauma, she seized emotionally in that state and is thus forever developmentally a teen. It helps explain the juvenile and codependent relationship she and Thomas have as he also is developmentally stunted since, when he came of age, he was vampirised (aka vampirisation aka envampination).
*not really

I would put Justine's level of emotional and intellectual development ahead of Thomas.
