Or, M-Harry is trying to darken our Harry. To make him closer to M-Harry to make it easier to trade places later.
It could even start out as M-Harry trying to guide our Harry into avoiding the mistakes that HE made, but black magic, even with the purest intentions, is still black magic. As Molly found out.

I don't think "alter-ego" Harry is evil per-say, he is a more forceful personality for sure. He
doesn't think things through, he thinks more on the lines of selfishness, in other words, what is good
for Harry works for everyone in his view. He is an important factor in Harry's decision process, if you want to use the Star Trek model I am thinking there is a much better episode than "Mirror Mirror." In "Mirror Mirror" there is a transporter accident and Kirk and company are thrown into a parallel universe where everyone except maybe Spock are the opposite of what we know them to be in their universe. In the episode I am thinking of, "The Enemy Within," it is again a problem with the transporter because of a substance on the planet they are beaming up from. Anyway, Captain Kirk is split into his two personality types, the strong ruthless passionate Kirk, [very much like Harry's alter-ego] shortly after he beams up and no one notices, a second Kirk appears, this is the compassionate gentle Kirk, not unlike the Harry we know and love. The first tries to rape his yeoman and is acting like a dictator, the second cannot make up his mind to do anything because he is afraid someone is going to be hurt. And because he cannot make up his mind to use the defective transporter, Sulu is about to freeze to death on planet, while the other Kirk says screw him, they need to move on. Kirk collapses if I remember correct and begins to die becauseboth sides of his personality are important to the making of the man and neither can survive without the other. On that model Harry needs both sides of his personality.

I think that's unlikely because M-Harry doesn't exist until the end of Grave Peril. Additionally, it probably takes M-Harry a while to become evil.

In my opinion, M-Harry isn't evil, he is just very hard assed and makes those kinds of assessments
of things, which made him easy for Lasciel to talk to.

@Bad Alias: Oh, right I forgot about that.
@Mira: Yeah, I don't see him as evil either. Though I'm not too sure that he gets an opportunity to meet Lasciel. But mainly that's more b/c I like the idea that he became more hard assed without any outside intervention, makes it more interesting that way.
