The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Bob's parents.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Love is additive not subtractive in the Dresden universe, the capacity to love made Lash greater not less. I presume the same applies with a muse, Lea has probably been powering up herself this way for centuries, though I suspect she has been forbidden by Mab in recent years to avoid damaging the balance between the Courts. She never got busy with Harry. This is why she was pleased with the Athame, more power without breaking her word to Mab. Lea is more powerful than the Winter Lady, second only to Mab, the gift was to disturb that balance of power in the Court.

But I suspect that to get a child like bonea the love must be in both parents so Lea is somewhat unlikely on that account too.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Check your folklore on the Leanansidhe, she is very loving, fully in the knowledge that he love is fatal.

He also said he thought it was obvious.
So assuming Bob is like Bonnie, you need at least one big supernatural parent. But not necessarily a mortal as the other (although I'd bet it is).
Bonnie is a curious mix of Dresden and a shadow of a Fallen Angel. She displays mostly traits that are similar to Maggie, but also the knowledge of her parents is clear (particularly from Lash).
If Bob is somewhere between 600 and a 1000 years old, and we have met his parents, they aren't likely to be mortal...at least anymore. Only one mortal we know of is that old (that is human) - Rashid.
He has a skewed ethical compass, an obsession with sex, an alter ego that is cruel and terrifying, and above all no matter which personality is in charge he ALWAYS resents authority. He is also fairly nerdy.
A fair amount of that can be attributed to Dresden's influence, and perhaps to some degree Butters (and of course Evil Bob can be attributed at least in part to Kemmler). But what was "Bob" like before he met Kemmler? And how much does the current owner change him from his original foundation?
Considering he is a spirit of air, his strange association with Winter and his fear of Mab in particular, not to mention his other traits I would guess that Mab (or at least the being inside the Mab mantle) was his Mother (she is the Queen of Air and Darkness after all), and his father....Vadderung? The OG Merlin is also a possibility, but that would mean we have already met him...
What are your guesses?

I hope I have not missed it reading the posts, so sorry if someone already wrote that.
My immediate thought on Bob's parents was
Merlin & Demonreach
And Mab helping with the birth.
Mab saw potential power for herself through Bob. Bob escaped with Merlin's help. Thus Bob's fear of Mab.
Edit: and maybe somehow the reason for Merlin's imprisonment on the island IF he is the "British Prisoner".
Conspiracy Theorist:
It is not Merlin, we have not seen Merlin in series and he is confirmed WOJ that he is NOT the British Prisoner.
