Denarians and/or Circle in Storm Front?
Mira:
--- Quote ---I'm fairly certain that the sight had EIW in Storm Front because Harry see's the future of everything he looks at when using it at the lake house. Other than "the sight coming in" thing in Small Favor and the soulgaze with Molly, does anyone recall any connection between the sight and seeing/predicting the future?

It was Small Favor, Harry is on Demonreach for the first time to rescue Ivy and Marcone and he
feels like he has walked it's paths before.
Bad Alias:
@morriswalters: I don't disagree with your interpretation of why Jim had the guy say what he said. I'm just saying I think he would have done it differently if his rules had been as developed as they are today. I'm also saying you can fit it in with his rules as they have been developed, but I believe the real explanation for why it seems out of place is actually just EIW.
@g33k: I was thinking about the conversation with Bob about how Walkers "aren't killable," which doesn't mention Outsiders and isn't even in the right book.
@Mira: And Lucio says it's something that happens to older wizards, not young ones. This doesn't prove that Harry couldn't have seen the future with his sight when he was younger, but suggests it when combined with it only definitely happening in one other instance and only maybe happening a second time in a soul gaze.

Lucio says that after Harry mentions to her what he experienced on the island. Actually she says he is about the right age to begin to experience that sort of thing.
page 419 Small Favor
--- Quote ---"Can I get your take on something?" I asked her.
"Certainly."
I told her about my experience on the island, and the eerie sense of familiarity that had come with it.
"Oh that," Anastasia said. "Your Sight's coming in. That's all."
I blinked at her. "Uh. What?"
"The Sight," she replied calmly. "Every wizard develops some measure of precognition as he matures. It sounds to me as if yours has begun to stir, and has recognized a place that may be of significance to you in the future."

Harry then wants to know why he hadn't heard of it before? She explains that they keep it quiet otherwise young wizards would see everything as prophecy, so it thought that it was better that they find out about it for themselves. So while yeah, Harry may have seen the future in a soul gaze when he was younger, he apparently wouldn't know what he was seeing or in other words, the future.

@Bad Alias
Yeah he's all over the map in the first two books. However I think Three Eye will be back in some fashion. Looking back from today this looks like something the Fomor would cook up. It also looks like something a clandestine group would use if they went up against wizards.
Bad Alias:
@morris: I basically agree. My only point of difference is I'm neutral on three-eye making a return. Wouldn't be surprised at all either way.
@Mira: Harry was 25 in Storm Front. He's 34 in Small Favor. He sees possible futures of everything he sees with the sight in Storm Front and knows that's what he's seeing. In Small Favor, he's about the right age for his precognition to begin to develop, it does, and he's put off by it because, dare I say, it's something he wouldn't have expected to happen. This strongly suggests EIW to me.
I'm not sure if you're disagreeing with me or just adding clarifying citations to my references.
