Another bit of possible foreshadowing
morriswalters:
--- Quote ---He was dead. His soul just didn't move on yet and definitely could have if he'd wanted to.
--- End quote ---
Where was his soul during the six months?

Who knows and, well, what does it matter? Time gets screwy in the Nevernever, so it probably goes screwy in the places between life and the afterlives.
The books and several characters in the know say he was dead. His body ceased to function and his soul wasn't in it.
That's basically the definition of dead.

I got the impression he was in a coma, but so deep in a coma it was almost death. I mean in real life people "die", and are brought back. Sometimes for extended periods of time. What Mab and the others did was the same as what humans do, albeit at a more advanced level. Didn't Mab say if he'd gone completely even she couldn't have gotten him back? He might have died shortly, but I think that for the 6 months he was comatose. They kept him alive enough for his wizard healing to take over. There is also the Uriel thing going on. We saw what Harry did directly, but there may have been more subtle things going on that we won't realize until future books.

Mab in Ghost Story
--- Quote ---"Long have this old thing and I have labored to keep your form alive, my knight," Mab said. "Long have we kept flesh and bone knit together and stirring, waiting for your spirits return."
--- End quote ---
Harry in Ghost Story
--- Quote ---"I think you don't have the time or the energy to spare to fight your own knight. I think you need me, or you wouldn't have gone through all the trouble of keeping me alive for this long, of taxing your strength this much to get it done."

Vadderung in Cold Days
--- Quote ---"Well, well, well," he said. "Rumors of your death, et cetera."

Also we had both Bob and Mort saying that Harry was in danger because he really wasn't a ghost, as in what is left behind when someone is ALL dead.
Mab
--- Quote ---Quote
And Mab again in Ghost Story
"Death is a spectrum, not a line. And you my knight, had not yet vanished into the utter darkness."
--- End quote ---
Last part of that line being the most important.... Harry had not yet vanished.. Meaning
he may have been mostly dead, but not all dead....
To quote Miracle Max, paraphrasing, all dead verses mostly dead... " mostly dead means slightly alive, now with all dead there is nothing left to do but go through his pockets and look for loose change."
