@Bad Alias
Is Harry really supposed to be 27 years old at the time of a summer Knight? I thought we would be in his early to mid thirties then

CrusherJen:
There's a timeline over at the Official Jim Butcher site (here: http://www.jim-butcher.com/timeline) Priscellie started it, and lots of fans helped build on it, so I figure it's probably the best info we can get (besides WOJ.)

Discontinuities make it hard to pin down Harry's age, but the best guesses make him either 25 or 27 during Storm Front. Summer Knight takes place two years later in-series, so Harry's 27 or 29 years old then.

(I'm glad that resource exists, because I don't think I'd have figured it out on my own. And wow, if Harry was born in 1974, I'm two years older than he is!  :o ;D )

Elaine as the original infector of Aurora is an interesting idea. Would definitely make sense if she was infected...but Elaine doesn't seem to have the usual craziness associated with the infected. Although neither did Cat Sith, but he had only recently been infected it seems. But as I believe Elaine is probably a part of the Circle or associated with the real villains, it wouldn't surprise me if she organised Aurora to be infected.

Just to be clear - even if DuMorne did summon He Who Walks Behind, Harry realises in the most recent books (Cold Days I think, or Ghost Story) that quite probably Justin was the puppet and the student. If HWWBh went after Harry, it was because he wanted to. Not because Justin was in control. And it seems it was all part of the plan to make Harry into something. Strange as that seems.

Btw - in the Paranet Papers their are notes by Simon Petrovich that imply that Justin murdered people using mind magic. Who knows how much damage he has been doing, or done. Justin was a Warden, but clearly he had ambition and abilities that made him far more dangerous than the average Warden. Not to mention, it seems he quite on purpose neglected this part of Harry's education. He made sure he had an opponent with an obvious weakness to him. Then he loses a fire fight? Molly would have ripped Dresden's mind apart at 16... Just thought I would throw that out there.

Bad Alias:
Based on WoJ about Priscellie and the timeline, it is likely more accurate than WoJ. For example, I remember a WoJ about how Michael and Harry started working together shortly before Grave Peril, but in Grave Peril, Charity says it's been "years" since she and Dresden have seen one another. I mean, they could have met long ago and only started working together just before Grave Peril, but that doesn't seem likely.
