The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Harry's lack of research
KurtinStGeorge:
The point I wanted to make when I brought up Ebenezer is that he may have more information on Malcolm Dresden than what he told Harry in Blood Rites. Even if Eb didn't know about Harry until Harry's trial, he might have done some research about Harry's childhood. He might know something even if he doesn't know it's significant or he might have learned something important when he met Malcolm. Plus, it doesn't cost Harry anything to ask.

Remember that last conversation Harry had with Lash about his mother? Bonea may have some very important info about Harry's mother even if she has no idea what it means. That should be a strong enough reason for Harry to want to teach Bonea.

each book normally takes place over the course of a few days. In order for there to be suspense and mystery, Harry has to learn or discover new things over the course of the story. Presumably, he learns some stuff in between books and occasionally mentions it.

His exact line is:
"She met your father. A man. A mortal, without powers, without influence, without resources. But a man with a good soul, like few I have ever seen."
He is explicitly commenting on the quality of his soul, and comparing it to other souls he's seen. That strongly implies that he saw Malcolm's soul, too.

Eb is 400 years old... That statement carries meaning to me. Eb has probably gazed a lot of people... I don't know if it is a hint about Malcolm but it could be... Sounds like he has character like Michael

That's one way to read it, but he could also be commenting on the man part. A man like few he'd ever seen who had a good soul. It's not explicitly about the soul.
Though, the quote also does argue against him being a Knight. A Knight may not have powers, if you consider the powers part of the sword, but having the sword would give him both influence and resources, even if that resource is only the sword itself.
