You mean in Summer Knight? My point is in Dead Beat Harry mentions to Morgan that the Red Court were the cat's paw of some greater power. What I am saying if one studies the events of the first four books of the series anyway, the Black Council or what even Harry finally ends up calling them were manipulating a lot more than just the Red Court.

I agree about most of your post, Mira, but I am tired of this. No, this is not a normal reaction. Yes, parents love they children, they would do a lot of sacrifices for them, even die for them or kill those who threaten them. What Harry actually did was normal for a father (even when I still think so much love for a child he has never met is too much. I discussed it a lot at the time and you know very well I still hate Maggie for what her introduction did to my favorite series). But what he said, the burning thing, no, that is not normal at all. Most parents don't stop caring for the rest of the world.

Harry obviously didn't love Maggie, as he didn't know her at all. You literally cannot love someone you do not know. He loved the concept of Maggie and because of his issues with family was pathological about that concept. He may have even loved her more because of that, because the concept was not dimmed by any flaws, and simply stood to him as that perfect thing, "my child."
Dina:
Exactly, in other words, it is not normal.
