The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Angelic intervention in Fool Moon
groinkick:
In Changes seven words were used to manipulate Dresden from one of the Fallen. In Ghost Story, Uriel balanced the scales with seven words. In Fool Moon seven words prevented Harry from murdering Denton while in Hexenwolf form.
I felt Denton's pulse beneath my tongue. Felt his whimpers vibrate into my mouth. So easy. One simple motion, and I would never have doubts, fears, questions. Never again. And, something inside of me said in a calm tone, you'll never be Harry Dresden again.
So a voice inside of Harry told him that he'd never be Harry Dresden again, using seven words. Coincidence? Maybe, but still curious to me.

The voice of his conscience speaking... Or even the alternate Harry that turns up in his fever dreams. Though that Harry may seem darker in a lot of respects, he speaks the truth.. It is the voice of free will, the choice was Harry's to make, the simple maybe even satisfying killing but for a price, he could never look at himself in the same way ever again..

I agree. I also think it was too soon in the series for foreshadowing of that kind.

When he was tempted by dark magic in Storm Front, and was on the verge of destroying Sells home but stopped short when his pentacle acted strangely, and he felt a hand holding his, was this also free will and his subconscious?
I'm in the camp that there are big players involved from the beginning, and won't be realized until later. Jim has hinted that we will learn of the big players working behind the scenes. I think he said in the wrestling book.

In the very next book we get: KoTC, Nemesis infection of Leah, Cowl, the beginning of the Red Court war, and as Cowl said "many things happened that night". We also know now that there are Fallen who are allied with the Outsiders... So if Nemesis has been involved since Book 1, it stands to reason there could be Angelic involvement since early books.
Jim has said that he has dropped things in books with the idea that people will pick up on things upon rereading them with knowledge from future books. Yeah I can be totally wrong, obviously. But still think that there are things that go all the way back to Storm Front that we won't understand until future books.
Also there was a strange shadow in Storm Front. Could it have been Sells as Shadowman? Possibly.... But I wouldn't be surprised if it's Nicodemus who showed up not too far down the line.
Bad Alias:
I think the voice from Storm Front was his mother.

I always have to wonder how much was planned since it was written and how much is written and then linked back to because it works. And unless everything is spelled out plainly, I don't think we will ever really stop debating who did what.
