Can I upvote this by 1000?
Dina:
I found the Harry theory plausible, even when I don't share it.
Bad Alias:
Long post short, I give it even odds between it's just something that happened and someone did it to influence Harry.

You're pretty guaranteed to run into a lot of things that happened because of the confluence of circumstances beyond your control. Ever been in a car wreck? What would have happened if you had left a minute earlier or later? We make tiny decisions with consequences beyond our ability to anticipate everyday. Only after the fact looking back do we ascribe meaning to why we left work five minutes late that day.
Of course this is fiction, so everything actually can and often does have that teleological meaning. Jim felt it was necessary for Murphy to die at this point in the series for whatever reason(s). Many people here felt her story arc was complete, but I think, form a doylist perspective, the main reason anything happens in this series is about Harry. It would make sense if it happened to push Harry in a certain direction. The reason, from a watsonian perspective, is probably Harry as often as it isn't.
Bad Alias:
Reading the Revelations and Rereads thread, it occurred to me that Harry smelled "sulfur and brimstone" (I think that's the quote) shortly after Murphy was killed. Could Marcone have used some hellfire infused magic to make it happen?
That seems like too much of a stretch to me given that hellfire isn't very useful the the delicate kind of work I imagine would be required to sneak an entropy curse or whatever past Harry and that Marcone was also fighting a major battle that night, but who knows?
morriswalters:
Brimstone and Sulphur are one in the same and Harry smells it after Butters whacks him.
