There is no hat.

--- End quote ---
There is no hat and yet there is one in art. That implies the hat has great symbolical value. It has meaning. The hat that is and is not has more meaning than just a hat that is.

Lehane:
Much like Bob and Mab, the Hat has a feud with Ivy, and thus a word about it is never written...

Conspiracy Theorist:
The Hat is symbolic of unresolved depression and trauma, all the way back to his fathers death. Harry must take it off in the next Twelve Months

Griffyn612:
I just had a thought.  Harry has conjuritis as an adult, something that's not common.  He's also stronger than most wizards his age in raw power.  He's also going through lots of trauma that he hasn't dealt with. And we know from this last book that tulpas are possible, as Bob said they could be generated from all the fear and suffering in Chicago.

What if Harry were to conjure his own tulpa via conjuritis?  One that's stable and self-sustaining?

I think the best thing would be an evil version of him that's all of his fears given form, but not an evil version that goes after him, but one that attacks that which he fears.  That way it wouldn't be just a different take on the mirror mirror evil Harry.

Conspiracy Theorist:
What would be interesting in Harry “Going back to school” is him not as a student, but as a teacher, as a subplot.

Everyone is going to be interested in magic after BG, including the University. Irwin’s mother Helena is a professor of archaeology, she should know the anthropologists, what if Harry were invited to be a visiting lecturer in anthropology, specifically magic. Harry has always had an enormous chip on his shoulder that he only has a GED, this would resolve this issue as well as open up new issues both within the White Council and the University. It would be nice that Twelve Months ends with Harry being awarded an honorary degree, or even a doctorate. Doctor, Sir Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden has a nice ring to it.

And of course Jim could use his Summer Knight Story of becoming famous in fandom, where he had previously dome panels to empty rooms, is late for the Summer Knight Panel, but there is a crush in the corridor, so he patiently waits at the end of the queue which turns silent until
Some asked “er, are you Jim Butcher?” To find his room was packed and this was the overflow.
