Who summoned the Cornerhounds?

Interesting. Harry said that Eb's hands weren't steady when they arrived. I wonder if it wasn't entirely because of the Corner Hounds themselves but the implication. It meant that someone had messed with (or traveled through) time.
So that's probably a really big deal:
1. Someone messed with time
2. Because the Corner Hounds arrived near them it stands to reason that the person is near them
3. Even more likely it's Eb or Harry.
4. If Harry it means he will be executed
5. If Eb then he knows that something really really bad is going down, and that he at present doesn't know what.
So I think that Eb's reaction to them is probably important. He also seemed to know a lot about them hinting he may have dealt with them before.

It could mean that, or it could mean that in his three hundred years of life as a very powerful wizard, Eb would know a lot about them and may have fought them before.
Butters also could be wrong about who they are, yeah he is a Holy Knight now, but has he been given a full course on the supernatural? Michael hasn't.
If it was Harry messing with time, it had to be another Harry, because the one telling the story doesn't seem to be. If it was Eb, why would he risk that kind of attack upon himself and Harry by time travel?
I think we are making this more complex than need be, go back and read what HWWB tells Harry on the boat just before they get to the island.

Harry names them as he banishes them. And Eb and Harry discuss corner hounds as they fight.

Yeah, but he is also inside their head at that point and sees what they see. It is more like Eb
instructing Harry what to do as they go along than anything, apparently it did take both of them
to successfully fight them.
morriswalters:
You already know that at least one character is hunting Harry's and using them to cover what he does.
Pointing out that Harry speaks the name as he banishes them just places the use of the name. Butters is responding to Harry telling him what he had fought.
Eb's hand shaking is one of the many clue bats dropped in the book. And while it points to fear it represents the fear that comes with aging and the loss of the virility of youth. Jim points it out about all of the Senior Council.
