Justin is alive. Justin is Cowl. THEORY

Though I might add, I do wonder if Justin gave up on Harry as much as we thought. I wonder if the molding of Harry is still on-going, especially the way Leah talks about it. But as you say, he already has one starborn.

True, Harry might still be viewed as a bonus worth getting if you can, but also expendable if it gets in your way.

5. DuMorne in French is roughly "of the Mountains". The French connection between Margaret, Justin, Grails, Arthurian references etc cannot be denied. It is important because it establishes a link between several highly important series elements. Always look for the literary devices when constructing theories; they hold the key. E.g. Vader means Father, and a common narrative structure is the Hero’s Journey. Not to mention the Son killing Father trope is as old as any story you might care to name. Interesting he has Morgana Le Fay’s athame, of all things. White Council started by Merlin, who also helped form the knights of the round table – including eventually Lancelot Dulac (of the Lake).

Minor quibble for the total theory, but Morne has an actual meaning: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/morne
It is not mountain, but mourning/dreary/dismal. So Justin is basically 'of the grieving' or 'of the dreaded place' which fits Harry's mindset about Justin in the first books just fine, without dragging in anything Arthurian.

While I personally lean more towards Cowl is Simon, it has bothered me that in the “duel” fought between Harry & Justin, no death curse was used.
If Justin has indeed perished in the duel as Harry remembers, why didn’t he use his death curse? Surely he was not as loony as Grevane...

Maybe he was loony like Maggie le Fay, and worked something more subtle than 'explode Harry's head'?

Or, more simply, maybe being burned alive disrupted his concentration.
