That is why Harry admitted he was only the clean up batter after Odin, the Holy Knights, Lara, Mab, etc wore her down. Even in her weakened state though, Ethniu was still formidable and almost won, would have won had not Molly anticipated the attack on her family and little Maggie, moved them as in The Lord of the Rings, but kept Mouse out of her illusion that they were still at the Carpenter home, knowing that Harry would know that the Turtlenecks would only get to Maggie over Mouse's dead body. Even with that, it was still a close thing.. However the reason Maggie and Mouse were more effective than calling up a vision of Thomas or even Murphy, is unconditional love. That is the bond between them and Harry, even though Thomas and Murphy love Harry, there are conditions or judgements attached to it.
KurtinStGeorge:
Somewhat off topic, but related. I just checked out the official Dresden Files timeline and saw something interesting. Death Masks; when Maggie was conceived, took place in late February, about 3 years after Storm Front. Storm Front took place in March. That means Maggie was (most likely) born in late November, approximately 3 years and eight months after Storm From. Peace Talks and Battle Ground take place in July, approximately 14 years and several months after Storm Front. Maggie is coming up on her tenth birthday, about the time when she should start to show noticeable magical abilities.
Seeing as the next book will take place during the twelve months following Battle Ground, I think Maggie's magical ability will manifest and be noticed by Harry; and at least one other, most likely Lea, near the end of those twelve months. Near the end of the novel, I think Harry will be forced to make some hard choices regarding Maggie's future education, both regular and magical.

I can't wait for Harry's reaction when she gets her Hogwarts letter.

Yup. How else could you think Harry caught conjouritis? Kids are always catching germs and bringing them home to their parents... ;D
Edit to add: I think Maggie was a carrier, since her powers aren't active yet.
