Could Maggie have taken up a Coin?

Also, Raith totally knew how family works. He deliberately instilled a sense of family loyalty in his children to make them less likely to rebel against him, remember?

We don't know how or when Thomas found out. In any case, Thomas didn't do anything about it until he met Harry in Grave Peril.
It wasn't "readily available" like it was on a billboard that Lord Raith was ignoring. He didn't think he needed to look, so he didn't look.
Faking a sense of family loyalty is not the same thing. Ebenezer outright says that Raith didn't catch on to him and Maggie being related because he didn't have anything like a normal family.

Another thing to consider is how the curse effected him. It drove him mad not being able to feed, and as Jim said it sandbagged the White Court for 30 years. Before it happened Raith was expanding, and after the curse he withdrew, becoming defensive. Chances are that Lord Raith just wasn't as cunning as he used to be because he was being constantly tormented by his Hunger, and fearful of anyone ever figuring out he had been cursed in that way.

For what it's worth, my reading of the books indicates that Thomas picked up on his relationship to Harry when he saw Harry's pentacle. I don't think he knew, in Grave Peril, who Harry was to him. I think that he looked into this Harry Dresden fellow in between books, but went back to Harry after the masquerade because he suspected.

Didn't he imply at some point that the reason he offered to help Harry and was friendly with him was because he knew? I thought so, but I could be mistaken.
I assumed he knew before GP.

Would not be at all surprised if he already knew.
