Anyone Else Surprised or Disappointed That Harry

It is in line with my thoughts about Kincaid. He can not really refuse to pay of a debt.
But he has some feelings about it otherwise he would not have to remind himself at the end.

You know... While getting shot in the head might have made harry more dead than he was, it wouldn't necessarily stop him from coming back.. so what if Ivy was actually worried about the thing growing inside that brain that could not yet survive independently instead?

While I agree with you to an extent the shot in Changes was foreshadowed in Blood Rites as well as Kincaid's ability to make the shot. Harry points out that Kincaid must be superhuman since he never misses. Speaking of the fight at Wrigley field Harry says.
--- Quote ---"In a fight, just plain folks miss sometimes. Maybe most times. You didn't miss once."

Kincaid tells him later how he would do it.
--- Quote ---"No. So I'd use a rifle at a thousand yards. The bullet outruns its own sonic boom, and you'd never even hear the shot. You'd be dead before you realized what happened."

No, if it made him more dead, then he might have been all dead. Then all Mab could have done was look for loose change. Remember what she said about the spectrum of dead.. Harry was only mostly dead, he never was all dead, he was still slightly alive when he hit the water, Mab and the cold she most likely cranked up kept him from bleeding out and his shock under control till she got him to Demonreach.

That is an incredibly intriguing thought!!! Could have also been a great way to float the theory that Harry was immortal without giving too much away.
