I used to think that he was redeemable as well, but his character has taken a decidedly selfish darker turn since Changes.

@Mira: How so?
I hope that Harry gets less interested in stating 'well at least he protects children' and just the whole 'he's a defender of Chicago, in his own way' attitude. Marcone still profits from human suffering despite making it more streamlined. Maybe Harry losing that attitude could end up being a plot point about how he'd need to dismantle these power systems that are bad despite seeming the lesser evil.

Destroying the red court seemed like eliminating the greater evil, and ended up making everything worse. Ditto egging Lara on to take charge of the white court. Maybe Harry should work on getting smarter before dismantling any more power systems.

Except Harry really didn't have much of a choice, did he? It was his daughter, him, and Eb, or the Red Court.. I guess he could have sacrificed himself and Eb without too much trouble, but little Maggie was a total innocent in this. If you are going to blame anyone, blame the Red King who set up the spell to begin with.. He should have known that there was a danger that a good wizard could figure out a way to reverse it.

Marcone thinks only of Marcone.. Having Goodman save a few children is great, but to be critical of him getting rid of those who'd abuse those kids and would go on to abuse more kids if they weren't stopped, because they served his needs is evil.
GWPfark:
Not read it yet, but Marcine likely knows who will replace the people killed. He isn't Harry, he actually plans things out.
