McCoy and Bob
Yuillegan:
Arjan, I agree with you there. Harry is dangerously ignorant. But I don't agree that the sentence is signalling that Eb would recognise Bob immediately. That might be true anyway but I believe that there is more to it.
As I said to Walter, Evil Bob could have mentioned any character who makes wizard staffs. He could have mentioned Justin's handiwork. He could have mentioned a famous wizard like the original Merlin, or Kemmler. But Jim wanted to highlight the connection between McCoy and Evil Bob. So I think it's foreshadowing of a reveal - perhaps that McCoy and Evil Bob have worked together. I don't see how or why Evil Bob was saying that as a a warning...

Lucio knew about Bob, Justin certainly knew about Bob. I think most senior wizards know about Bob and they get a collective fit if they learn about Harry and Bob.

Oh yeah, so what else is new? Wait till they find out about the baby of his brain. It also figures if they knew about Bob, Bob knows about them..
apgrey:
There is a lot we don't know about Bob.
Bob was used by Kemmler for about 100 years, up until Kemmler's death in 1961. We don't know who had Bob before then, so Bob could have met Ebenezar then.
Also, as the Blackstaff, Ebenezar would have been sent after Kemmler. There might have been several confrontations between them that ended with one of them escaping the other. Kemmler might have captured one of Ebenezar's staffs, and given it to Bob for study.
It would have made sense for Kemmler to order Bob to learn as much as he could about Ebenezar. He would wanted any possible information about one of his most dangerous opponents.

EBRIEN:
Do we have a definitive date of when Kemmler first appears on the scene? I know we have references, but was he someone else prior to Kemmler? Body switch? Was he a WC player before he was the bad guy?
If we follow the "Harry is betrayed by McCoy" line of thinking, maybe Eb's been in league with the Black Council for centuries and the reason Bob knows the work of McCoy is a lot more insidious. We know McCoy knows about Bob. Maybe he KNOWS about Bob in the sense that he possessed him prior to Kemmler.
I don't know. Ugh.
