Mighty prince?  Could that mean Starborn as in Harry?

Another name for Mab in the Dresden verse is the queen of air and darkness. So maybe Harry is the power of the air.

Perhaps, but  the key word in that sentence in my opinion is a star.  Harry as we all know now is star born.

I'm guessing it does not refer to the Starborn.  In human taste, bitterness is a marker for poison.  Bitter almonds is a descriptor for cyanide.  Whatever it is, it must be bad cause Mother Summer gave Mother Winter the stink eye for cracking the container.

it means something, but like a lot of JB's clues, it will only make sense later.

What I am talking about is the blurb under interpretations,  which isn't about changing water or anything else...

--- Quote ---Interpretations

Certain commentators have held that this "great star" represents one of several important figures in political or ecclesiastical history,[4] while other Bible dictionaries and commentaries view the term as a reference to a celestial being. A Dictionary of The Holy Bible states, "the star called Wormwood seems to denote a mighty prince, or power of the air, the instrument, in its fall."[5]

This says it is a person, not something like bitter almonds or a marker for poison...  All I am saying is this interpretation could fit with the star born idea, and actually makes more sense..
