I don't think she meant that Harry was meant to be Justin's enforcer. The fact that Harry rebelled against Justin would seem to weigh against that interpretation. Also, even in a worse case scenario, if Harry had gone bad at a young age, how is one more Warlock a danger to the White Council? The Council must have been afraid that Harry was something special, but in a very bad way.

Yeah, I looked it up. What Martha said was "What he was meant to be." I don't think the Senior Council has enough of an idea what Justin's actual agenda was for merely being groomed into his thug to merit that much of an ominous overtone.
peregrine:
And yet instead they know enough about what Maggie planned?
Snark Knight:
Well if Martha, Eb and LTW know enough about Starborn to recognize Harry's birth date as falling in the right conjunction after Margaret spent the best part of a century and a half camping out in the Nevernever to stay biologically young, that in itself would be a pretty glaring hint. Martha might not have known exactly what ends Maggie meant to use her Starborn offspring for, but just figuring out she was trying for one explains Martha's comment.

Why then is Harry showing signs of aging at 40 or so? According to Butters, his cells make near perfect copies, so he should be like 23-25 yo physically.It doesn't seem that reasonable to me. In camp Kaboom flashback during White Night, Luccio mentions trouble adjusting to the new body, magically as well as physically; saying "Of course, it had been a hundred and forty years since I'd put up with a monthly cycle."

Jim said that wizards age normally until around 50 years old, and then stop aging. They start to decline around the 400 year mark.
--- Quote ---You'd think that if Malcolm had had any kids, he'd have mentioned it at some point. Like when he comes back to visit Harry after he's dead.

Not if he wanted them to have a long life ;). I'm wondering if Harry's mother had any children that have died.. I mean having her first child when she's older than 100? Seems a bit odd.

I believe he also said, in the case of Maggie, there were relativity shenanigans thank to all her NN travel.
