My guess is that Maggie created a barrier between Raith, and his demon. If you got to see in his mind it would be a mirror where they were fighting to connect but could not.

Na the mirror is an aspect of reality, or between reality I might say. It's one reason why I think Mirror Mirror is called such when he pulls Harry into his reality. It's through a metaphysical mirror. Imo everybody has that mirror, it's very indicative of the gateway that exists inside us that our souls would pass through in certain mythos.

I'm guessing that she used Thomas to create the binding she used on the King. Certainly Thomas supplied the power to keep it active after her death. Say that he was the vector. She couldn't attack directly so she attacked Raith through his living male heir. Raith may have been aware of this avenue of attack since he always killed his male heirs. If you're enamored of the mirror metaphor, say she attacked Raith's demon through the mirror. As long as that connection to the demon side was alive in Thomas she could bind the demon even if she couldn't kill Raith. The idea is simple and it's probably wrong. But I like it anyway.
edit
I wonder if Malcolm was a fae halfling who chose to be human. Maybe a son of Lea. Goofy idea, but I throw it out there. It creates a connection between Lea and Margaret and would go a long ways towards explaining Lea's affection for Harry.

The mirror seen in Thomas's soul probably has nothing to do with other realities, because it's in his soul.
And the real reason it's called Mirror Mirror is that's the title of the Star Trek episode that introduced Beard Spock. I'm sure there'll be an in-universe reason for it as well, and it would make sense thematically if mirrors (already established in the series as gateways) are in fact how he's pulled through, but I seriously doubt the image in Thomas's soul has anything to do with it.

Eh, it's probably just because he doesn't want anyone who can usurp him.

Because Margaret La Fay, famous for traveling the Ways in Faerie for more than 100 years, couldn't have met Lea without the man that she just met introducing them?
And Lea knowing Margaret isn't enough explanation for Lea's affection toward Harry? Considering Lea explicitly references her relationship to Margaret whenever it comes up, and almost never Malcolm?

Yea no titles in DF have double ontondra meanings for sureski's.
The empty night beyond, just like the apocalyptic reference, none of it will come to fruitation one mere book away or anything. Oh and btw, redue your mythological reading, the gateway in the soul.... cross that with Malcolms 'death is a doorway 2 person wide', cause it's a personal passage lol. But I digress, your probably right simply because that's what you believe.

Of course not. Harry can't have a parent who is just a good man. Never mind that if you add a good man to Margaret le Fay, you get basically Harry's character. ;)
