--- Quote ---Lea did have the fairy godmother bargain running at the time which complicates her relationship to Harry.
--- End quote ---
But if she was fighting infestation the whole time it would throw her into conflict as far as her
promise to Margaret was concerned as far as playing god mother to Harry. In Grave Peril when we
first meet her in the Nevernever, Lea claims that Margaret gave him to her, she also claims that Harry promised to be hers.. It is clear that she wants Harry for her own purpose, which speaks more to a grab for power than a promise of protection. We don't know what the original bargain was with Margaret for Harry's protection, but Nemesis infection could distort that considerably. Just contrast Lea's attitude in Grave Peril verses after Proven Guilty when she has received treatment.. In her case I don't think it was just the Knife, I believe she was infected before.

@exartiem. "Harry went into foster care" means "Harry was sent to the foster system. He was recorded, sent to an orphanage" not "he has been adopted". That happened 4 years later. Mira is probably right about what happened immediately after Malcolm died, with police, social workers and so on. I imagine in a day or two he was in an orphanage, and someone hid him from other people, like Morgan. I think the easier option is that is Lea. She considered that Harry was safe in the system, but she made sure that no one else knew about him. She probably messed with the paperwork (which was not very complicated when Harry was a child) and did some glamour so he was magically protected too. I am not sure what "physically" meant here.
In other topics, it is very interesting that clearly no one seems to know about Elaine status as a starborn (which reminds me. We know that because of WoJ, but have we seen anyone on the books who explicitly knows that? Does Harry know that?)

As far as I know, no.. I think the only mention of Elaine possibly being a star born came in the form of a WOJ, and that was some years ago now. If anyone remembers something from the books please come forward, I don't remember any mention. Only thing close to it is Lea saying that both Harry and Elaine were meant to be enforcers. That doesn't say it, just puts them on par perhaps power wise. So another Harry Potter parallel perhaps? Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom, it was
a toss up between who was going to be the chosen one... Harry and Elaine, toss up as to whom was going to be the star born...
forumghost:
Well, we know that Justin figured it out, so someone probably does.
The thing is that we don't know much about Elaine at all really, because she's been hanging in the background avoiding notice and probably plotting maniacally, and Harry never told anyone that a Second apprentice of Justin even existed.
It's possible that there's some other Wizard out there who's kicking themselves for failing Elaine's parents the way that Morgan apparently was for breaking his word to Maggie Sr, and we'll never know because Harry is covering for her.
morriswalters:
Why would anyone believe that Justin figured anything out? Chauncy says early on the Margaret was headed to hell. Would it be unreasonable to suggest that Elaine and Harry were a part of some plot hatched before Maggie got cold feet and hit the road?
It's always struck me as strange that in a span of less than two years, Maggie met, fell in love and had a baby by Malcolm, all while hiding from Papa Raith and an entropy curse. Knowing full well that she was ded dead. If still mobile. Malcolm was always going to be a widower. What kind of women chooses to have a child under those conditions. And what kind of man would become a father under those same conditions. Here is the timeline.
--- Quote ---~26-27 BSF: Thomas is given a pentacle necklace on his fifth birthday. His mother escapes Lord Raith.
26 BSF: Maggie LeFay meets Malcolm Dresden.
~25 BSF: Collin Murphy saves rookie CPD officer Rawlins from an unspecified supernatural creature in a dark alley, killing it with a shotgun full of rock salt. (~30 years before Dead Beat)
26 BSF, some time between August and October – Malcolm Dresden and his heavily-pregnant wife Margaret visit the Lincoln Memorial.

That timeline is dodgy.
