Harry's lack of research
Mr. Death:
--- Quote from: Snark Knight on November 09, 2018, 12:24:23 AM ---Thomas is in pretty good standing with the Court now - I don't see why the library would be off limits to him in his own right. And if he's bringing Bob for a ridealong in his head at the time, how's Lara going to be any the wiser?

Being in good public standing in the Court does not mean that the most devious and cunning of the White Court is going to let someone she knows has more loyalty to Harry than to her just run around and look at all of her most guarded things.
That would just be stupid of her.

You're not wrong in that it doesn't provide much other information, so Eb might not have known a ton about Malcolm, but enough to know he's a good person.

How else would one see a soul? Ebenezer says "seen." That's the word he uses. I don't think we can say he "definitely" didn't Soulgaze him based solely on a lack of a capital letter.

I read that portion of Blood Rites last night and considered what Ebeneezer meant. He says "soul," and he says "seen."
The narrator is Harry, who isn't at his best in that moment, so we don't know if Ebeneezer meant "Seen" or "seen." Jim often capitalizes sight, saw, seen, and such when talking about a soul gaze or wizard's sight. I'm not sure if Jim ever uses the lower case in that context.
This specific passage is very ambiguous and open to interpretation.

Yes, and this was the guy his daughter claimed to love and want to marry. Granted they hadn't got on all that well before, yet he did have dinner with her and Raith once in a while. I am thinking that Margaret let Eb in on her plans to create a star child with Malcolm.. Eb's soul gaze could have possibly confirmed that Malcolm had what it took to father such a child.. Plus Eb may just wanted to
know what kind of man could change his daughter for the better like Malcolm did.

Here is some WoJ:
--- Quote --- At what time did Ebenezer know that Harry existed, and does he know that Thomas is his grandson.
Not until it was too late. Not till after Justin’s death that he was able to find out. As far as Thomas, Stay Tuned.

This doesn't mean that Eb didn't know Maggie was planning on having children with Malcolm, but it does mean that he didn't know that Maggie was pregnant. When Maggie died, Eb didn't know to go looking for Harry to keep an eye on him.

Eb said he saw the man, not the soul. And I'm not saying he "definitely" didn't gaze him, I'm saying he definitely didn't say "Gazed."
