Morgan's Journal Revisited
vultur:
I'm not sure I'd expect Morgan to be alive in the alt-universe.
Apparently Harry is on the run in the alt-universe. That probably doesn't have anything directly to do with the choice he made differently in GP, because the Council wouldn't have been angry at him for *not* starting the Vampire War.
So either he did something else to make the Council hunt him (and given that Harry is still alive, he might well have killed Morgan), or the Red Court struck later with better preparation and the White Council is losing or has already lost (and maybe they're the ones hunting Harry, not the Council).

If Eb dies in BG (as seems likely) and Harry picks up the Blackstaff, that could lead to a confrontation with the Council.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Not sure Harry would pick up the Black Staff, consequences without guilt are not his sort of thing, and he believes in the 7 laws and would rather be creative about doing what he needs to do without breaking them.
Besides if he returns Mother Winters walking stick, she owes him a huge favour, perhaps healing/curing Thomas?. The Mothers provided a cure for Susan remember, the unravelling, when Harry couldn’t. A bit of foreshadowing as Harry has once again a loved one in peril from their vampire half.
Mab would love him to be the Black Staff, and Mother Winter would love Mab to have been less soft and sentimental with Harry. Accepting the Black Staff back would be in keeping with Mother Winter forcing Mab to live with the consequences of her soft treatment of Harry, an unruly and headstrong Knight. Harry is Mab’s punishment.

Or her getting her staff back would be a good thing, less antagonism between Winter and everyone else, unity is what is needed for the coming BAT.

He'd prefer not to, but then he'd have preferred not to draw on Lash's Hellfire in DB or become the Winter Knight in Changes. It just depends on what's at stake.
I don't think Harry knows about the Blackstaff being MW's walking stick, at least it's never been mentioned on-page.

I've long wondered the following:
1) If Mother Winter is so nasty because she's not protected from black magic backlash, hence the stick.
2) If the Blackstaff can cure existing corruption- so pull out from Harry the taint of killing DuMorne. Harry would probably be down with that.
3) If the penultimate end of the series results in the combination of the following Chekov's guns:
* Demonreach
Harry's immunity to Nemfection
The Darkhallow
The Blackstaff
*
Or, the series ends with Harry ascending by nom noming the Nemfected, tainted powers trapped in Demonreach- as the Blackstaff pulls out the tainted aspect and Harry's Starborn status sloughs the Nemfection. And he ascends to the new Guardian of Reality- for his descendents.
