The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Who fixed Little Chicago?
DonBugen:
Those four points are exactly why I believe it's a previous version of Dresden.
There's one other possibility that no one has explored.
Having just formed the Za Lord's Guard, Toot Toot and company have one of their first epic battles against the mice and rats and ugly spiders that might crawl into Harry's bed. One battle with such a dread creature takes them down to the basement, where the gang land in Little Chicago. There, they have an epic Kaiju-style Godzilla battle, leaving much of Little Chicago in ruins.
Not wanting to displease their new lord before he even knows of the organization's existence, Toot Toot and company quickly repair all of the damage done to the table, completely by accident also repairing the transition coupling. 'Cause you know, Faeries, they just live and breathe magic and so it's totally possible that was done unintentionally.
It seems at least as probable as any other idea to me.
Carl:
Don't forget though anyone with the knowledge level to produce that sort of thing and enough power to scry through his wards could become aware of it and know how to fix it. And thats assuming the same person who realised the error was also the one to fix it. Someone else with no interest in interfering could have seen the error and then somehow, (probably by accident), handed that info over to someone with an interest in interfering.

Remember, if we are talking time travel, the person who used it didn't have to learn about it until after PG. Thus, for example, anyone who found remnants of LC after Harry's place burned down might travel back in time to use it before it was destroyed. Harry could tell somebody about it in the future and send them back to use. Or Harry could send a message back from the future to somebody in the past to have them use it.
Kindler:
Personally, I chalk it up to Harry having to head back to Proven Guilty, with Bonnie in tow, maybe to ensure that Molly gets taken by the Scarecrow. Harry has to find something or do something, and he goes to use LC, when Bonnie (who has Harry's memories, along with Lash's) realizes that Little Chicago is broken, so Harry spends the time to fix it. This is after he has an emotional reunion with all of his stuff.
If there is time travel, I tend to think it's going to be a "Harry has to ensure the integrity of the timeline" situation, not an "I have to go back and prevent X" thing. He'd probably go on and on about the morality of erasing failures, and how it would be too easy to undo everyone's sacrifices, and how that would undermine the meaning of their lives, et cetera, et cetera.

I'm confident that Harry is the one who fixed Little Chicago. Very Confident. Heck PG is explicitly set up as a story with time travel in the background.
