I just hate that someone as important as Harry's daughter should be has bern reduced to a plot device to force the story in the direction Jim wants to take it, instead of being a real character.

In fairness, I believe that this is going to change moving forward, starting with the novella in Brief Cases. Until this point in the story, Harry was coming around to realizing that he needed to have a relationship with her at all, and now that he's done that, he can start to have that relationship. We'll get to see Maggie become an actual person rather than a plot device—I think. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. I don't see how we could avoid getting real characterization with Maggie and Harry in such close proximity. For me, that's what it took for Thomas to become more than Dionysian Love God with a Possible Heart of Gold, and turn into Harry's brother.

Exactly why I am worried for the next books. Maggie will become more important.

Oh yes, the real proof of this to me is Mouse, whose obviously got an agenda of his own, is now her personal guard dog. The monster under the bed was probably as real as Dresden thought.(woj of things only kids can see.)

I think in the BAT she will be (she will be in her late teens by then or older) but in these next few books I don't think so.
