More foreshadowing?
Second Aristh:

But the future is always in motion so things change, so you cannot say that Harry got the soul gaze wrong.. He saw several possible futures for her in Proven Guilty
1] Molly looking as though she were strung out on hard drugs with a "fey light" in her eyes.
Just checked the dictionary and according to it, "fey" means That kind of fits with a possible future Winter Lady gig don't you think?
2] Smiling, happy, older, a little plump surrounded by children..
If she decides to take her mother's route, that could very well be her future, there is no
reason to believe that Molly wouldn't make a good wife and mother.
3] Wearing a grey Warden's cloak, her face scared by battles yet to be fought.
Not unlike perhaps what Eb might have seen in his soul gaze of sixteen year old Harry. Harry
and Molly had that in common, possible warlock, but with guidance a brave Warden for the White
Council.
4] Basically a happy young woman, but perhaps a bit more secure..
5] At a desk working...
Not much to go on there, though I guess if you want take a real leap, future Winter Lady doing her job..
6] The last one looked like Molly, but wasn't, but someone all together evil;
The obvious is if she went full warlock with her mind powers, Molly would be a powerful evil force to recon with. But another thought hit me as I was copying the quote out of the book. Could this be the reason why Mab ordered Harry to kill Molly if something happened to her? Mab said that if Molly became Queen it would be unsettling, not just for the Court, but for everyone. Could the above be the future Molly that Mab saw if she became Queen prematurely? Mab wants a strong Queen to succeed her, but I doubt she wants an evil Queen that's into mind control. Notice that Harry says this version of Molly isn't human, but she looks human, well that defines what Mab is, doesn't it?
Then he comes away with the impression that Molly is a person of power.. That evil does hang over her, but it hadn't gained dominance.. With guidance she could turn out okay.. So was Harry wrong? So far I'd say no.

For the possible futures, I interpret them as
1] Winter Lady Molly
2] Molly that set aside magic
3] Warden Molly
4] ? ? ?
5] ? ? ?
6] Denarian Molly

--- Quote --- Denarian Molly

Hadn't thought of that one, but I don't see it, as a "host" she'd still be human... What Harry sees isn't, though she still looks like Molly.

Human, but the Denarian form metaphorically peeking through since it's a soulgaze. There was a WoJ or a book quote somewhere about the Denarians loving to acquire a family member for one of the Knights of the Cross.
Denarian Dresden was also one of the options Jim considered instead of Winter Knight Harry in Changes, so it makes sense as far as a possibility for Molly from way back then.

It must be a WOJ because I don't remember it as a book quote. Granted I've forgotten a lot ::), but I think I'd remember that one. Not saying you're wrong, but considering where Molly is now, and what has happened to Mab over the centuries, I'm more inclined to think it is the Winter Queen gig. Specially the reason Mab gave for wanting her dead instead of Queen at this point.. "Unsettling," which I realize can mean almost anything, but vague as her comment was, it doesn't sound good.

--- End quote ---
in another detail I've noticed, Maeves look actually changes to match changes Molly makes. Can't recall exactly what, but iirc after Molly gets her piercings Maeve gets the same one.
