Bad Alias:
(click to show/hide)Duty would trump Evanna's relationship with Thomas.

gawime:
So what happens in chapter 2?

(click to show/hide) something interferes with Harry’s winter mantle. We saw in previous books that there are connections between the Greek myths and the fae (Hades having statues of the queens, Harry calling the crone Hecate to summon her) so I suspect Harry’s visitor is from that pantheon. Coupled with the appearance of the pot, I think the visitor is
https://www.theoi.com/Titan/TitanisMnemosyne.html
Unlike her brother Titans, the female ones were never cast into Tartarus by Zeus. So she’s around. Also as the Titan of memory maybe mere thoughts can bring things into existence around her.
Edit: and don’t forget the huge footprints from chapter 1

Who is at the door?

(click to show/hide)No sounds of combat, building shaking, etc etc etc.  I surmise whoever it is, they got in via protocol & authorizations.  Someone with a lot of political clout & authority (but not a Svartalf, because they won't violate their bond of safety & guest-right; so they're automatically "not dangerous" to the alarm-system).

Somebody dangerous enough to trigger the alarm.

The Blackstaff certainly qualifies; so does the Merlin!  I suspect this is another contact from the WC regarding the upcoming Peace Talks (though maybe it's a bit too soon after Ramirez informs Harry?):  someone wants a word with Harry in private, before the "official" meetings & briefings.

Other ideas might include Kringle, Gard, Eldest Gruff, Fix... really, there's a big BIG list!!!

morriswalters:
@g33k
Nobody.
(click to show/hide)Whatever it was that Harry created the first time he sneezed.

123Chikadee:
(click to show/hide)@Bad Alias: It would but maybe getting involved w/ Thomas is her duty, or at least one of them? She might not be a straight shooter
(click to show/hide)@g33k: Yeah I was thinking something similar. It's someone who got let in. The 'alarm' that's going off is less of an alarm, but someone ringing the doorbell. After all, the really strong ones don't need to use brute force to get what they want.
But morriswalters could be right too. That's a nice possibility.
