With the information available to them, if they think he's just a dumb brute, we're not getting the best story. Unless we have six of one and a half dozen of the other like in WN where Madrigal was an idiot who underestimated Harry while Vitto wasn't and let Madrigal know how he felt about it. That gives us the best of both worlds. The bad guys do something stupid that let's Harry gain some advantage while the bad guys are also not stupid, so they still feel like a credible threat in the book.
In his old school tux, but without his glasses because he isn't worried about looking friendly to the people who have an interest in harming his son?

(How did lol become a thing when haha already existed and seems so much less artificial)?

I use both haha and lol.  I used to think lol meant lots of love lol.  I think that lol is just faster to type because of the location on the keyboard.

I think Harry's enemies will be smart.  I think we are getting deeper into the Black Council's motives, the Black Court and so forth.  Harry has pretty much faced, and beat down the lower tier enemies.  Now he's getting into the big leagues, facing those with both the power, and cunning to be in the positions they are in.

Drakul
Cowl
Marcone
Nicodemus
White Council
Nemesis
Mab

All of them (and more) have their motives.  We still don't know what they are...  I can't wait to find out.

The_Sibelis:
In my opinion he's just getting better at balancing things, like the bindings he put on the Winter Queens in BG over debt owed.
In the beginning he was denying Leah and suffering for it before his trick with the mushrooms. I consider that a balance too though.. the original deal was unfair, he deserved a chance and he was willing to die for it more or less. He aggressively renegotiated the original deal as being inequitable lol.
