Quantus:

--- Quote from: exartiem on February 26, 2018, 03:17:29 PM ---I think Bob did the partitioning himself.  He was given two orders: teach Harry and never tell anyone he is Kemmler.  To give Harry access to his knowledge but keep that separate, Bob partitioned himself.  Evil Bob was the primary and Bob the puppet.  Then Harry gave him a Name, then killed Justin.  Bob then became the primary and Evil Bob got locked away.

Not sure that would make sense from Dumorne (or a Kemmler-justin)'s POV.  The initial (pre-Harry's ownership) event wasnt just a partition; Bob said he had been compelled to cut off as much as he could, and burry the rest.  What we saw in DB was only the "what was left" part, there had already been a significant chunk removed, which is something neither Kemmler or Justin would have any reason or desire to do.  The only reason to destroy that Knowledge/personality would be if they viewed it as dangerous, either to them personally or if it got into the wrong hands. 

Fwiw, we dont really know for sure if the Evil-bob we met in GS was just the additional bits that Harry inadvertently ordered Bob to remove, or if those pieces somehow found and merged with the initial Chuck that Bob said he carved off prior to Harry becoming his owner. 

exartiem:
Harry didn't order Bob to amputate Evil Bob.  He ordered Bob to never let that part out again for anyone or anything.  Bob chose to do the amputation as the best way to ensure compliance.  Harry doesn't fully understand how Bob works.

Same with Kemmler/Justin.  He ordered the spirit to never allow the secret out.  The spirit chose partitioning itself as the best way to comply.

what I knew of Kemmler took away a…a big piece of my
existence. Like if someone had cut off your arm. What’s left of
what I know of Kemmler is close to the missing pieces.”

--- End quote ---

This can be interpreted two ways.  The first is Quantus' way, which is that a chunk of Kob's knowledge was cut away, and what Evob knows is what's left of that.

The second way is my way, which is that the knowledge Bob possesses about Kemmler (asshat, WW1, death) is close to the "missing arm", which wasn't actually cut away, but is suppressed as Kob/Evob.

Key
Pob: Proto Bob
Eob: Etienne's Bob
Kob: Kemmler's Bob
Dob: DuMorne's Bob
Bob: Harry's Bob
Wob: Waldo's Bob
Evob: Evil Bob

Harry impacted Bob more than butters because
A, he gave him a name and
B, nobody had any knowledge of Bob's continued existence nor has anyone besides Harry (and cowl...) seems to know this, however more and more people know him as Bob... He's growing an identity of his own even if he stays a reflection of his holder... Bob's basically a mini immortal sans the host we have come to see in most all of them.

We have a WoJ that the reason Butter's Bob is so much like Harry's Bob is because Butters met Bob during that time and established a relationship with that personality.  It might not have anything to do with having a name.  (Or maybe it's a part of the latter). But I wouldn't attribute it automatically to a naming power of Harry's.
