You know...regarding the Doubting Thomas angle. I think we might have actually had this scene already.
Cold Days, Chapter 14:
--- Quote ---"Thomas," I said. "It's me."
"Sure it is," Thomas snarled, the pressure against me surging for a second. "Harry Dresden is dead."
I thought my eyeballs were trying to squeeze their way out of their sockets. "Glurk!"
"Now," he growled, "I'm going to give you exactly three seconds to start telling me the truth, or I swear to God they will never find enough pieces of you to identify the body."

I particularly enjoy the "I swear to God" part...

Huh. I had sort of figured it was building up to DB, but thinking about it again, there's no way she could have known the Word of Kemmler was going to be found.

--- End quote ---
Oh, I agree. But the fact that it worked means that his "starborn potential" had to be active to some degree.
But not fully active, apparently, given how differently things went in CD against HWWBefore.
So I guess there's a "latent" starborn stage and an "active" one?
(Kind of like the Red and White Court completing the "full change" after killing, except in this case Harry unlocked the full potential after dying...)
Smaug with OCD:
Again you have to squint and turn your head sideways a little. But, another possible piece of support for the "Harry is Christ" theory:
Didn't Harry and Mab have a talk at the end of Small Favor(?) where Harry said something along the lines of "I'm only human/I'm mortal," and Mab replied with "For now." ? I don't remember the exact quote and don't have the book close at hand to check. But, I swear I remember this exchange being part of a larger discussion at some point.

That was one of the inspirations for this strange idea. With the whole 'not lying' angle, it seemed an rather definitive statement.
Considering the whole Starborn angle and it being a recurring cycle of 666 years, she was probably a prominent element in the last one, and knows the ending.
