The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
What questions should Harry be asking?
Bad Alias:
Was his father murdered? If so, who, how, why?
How does Vaderung keep putting his fairy mantle on a shelf and taking off when it is needed?
More generally how his mantle works.
Any information he can get on previous Winter Knights.
What Martha Liberty meant by "you know what he was meant to be."

Yeah; Winter Law... and "care and maintenance (and retirement!) of a Mantle."
Dresden got a lot of magical training, and has Bob for more magic, but he's pretty weak on the whole "Faerie" thing. Bob informed him on-screen about multiplicity of Queens, and about Knights... All new to Harry at the time.
Now he IS a Knight, and has only the Knightly "training" that Mab saw fit to give him.
Mab.
Harry desperately need to get further (and non-biased) info.

1) What is a starborn? He knows he is one and has done zero research on it. Mab, Leah, any faerie, Vadderung, probably the White Council should be able to help put this puzzle together.
2) What is the purpose of the Warden and the history of the role? Whilst off screen, Harry has figured some of it out, we haven't had any exposition on this. And the way Ebenezar talks about it still makes me think there is still more to be revealed.

THESE.
They are a part of who Harry is; born Starborn, and bound in ritual of blood and power to Demonreach. On the island, the intellectus is inside his head.
I'm kind of shocked that Harry Dresden isn't freaked-out over Something Else that has a piece of the inside of his head.
But most especially the whole Starborn thing... Barely-trained 16-yo Harry Dresden beat HWWBehind. Yet Ebenezer -- wielding the freaking Blackstaff! -- reports that he (and other WC wizards!) would likely have died from Outsider attacks, if not for Micheal showing up with the Sword. Harry needs to know about the whole Starborn bit.
===
Honestly, I think most of the rest of the list are... eh, maybe, nice-to-know stuff; stuff that's grown in significance because of all the fan theorizing, but not necessarily core to the upcoming BAT plotlines.
OriginalTeemo:
What do other people see when they soul gaze Harry?
I've got this sneaking suspicion that Harry's conversation with his dad was a glimpse of his soul and the Jabberwocky is close at hand.

I don't think that was a real fight. The flashback in GS makes it pretty clear that the Walker was there to manipulate Harry - it killed the gas station worker just to get Harry motivated to stand and fight, and expressed satisfaction about his reaction. It might not have counted on quite how volatile gas pumps can be to stand next to, but it also passed on plenty of opportunity to kill Harry. Lea even commented about it being about manipulating him toward violence.
I'm still not sure whether it was there of it's own initiative to influence Harry, or sent by someone else to push Harry into a confrontation with Justin, but it wasn't acting as an assassin like Harry thought at the time.

Check out my theories on the question. I think the powers that were using Justin to raise two possible star borns to be enforcers needed only one. Thus when Justin successfully enthralled Elaine, Harry was no longer needed, so HWB was sent to kill him.
