The entropy curse was pointed at Harry, not Maggie wag

The alternative answer is simple: She was relating a general frame of mind that Maggie voiced, not a specific circumstance where Maggie said, "Kill me instead of Harry."

Yeah and Jim said when Harry finds out about her deal with Harry's mom he's going to try to kill her.  I doubt she made her his godmother out of love and trust but out of a deal.

Wizard Sibelis:
I'd personally find it more plausible she simply redirected it in the moment as Harry did with presumably the same curse in BR. But i'm open to the idea it was intended to kill Harry for an entirely different theorem of mine own.

I'm not sure the entropy curse needs a blood / hair / name link like regular thaumatugry. Outsider magic might just be alien enough not to need it.

I'm not sure I buy it being directly targeted at Harry and Margaret dealt with Lea to die instead. But Raith might have been hoping to get Maggie Sr. before she could realize her angle on the breed-a-starborn plan.
