Who summoned the Cornerhounds?

I liked everything but the fetches. It took no time at all in the bathroom.

I read a theory that some were summoned, and some were sent directly. Meaning one of the Queens ordered it. The summoning that Harry detects and misses with his Play-Doh web was a summoning; the movie theater fetches and the bathroom attack were Sent instead. I don't recall which one the Scarecrow at the garage was, but my money is Sent, considering that was Eldest.
I do hope that any time travel stories involve us unraveling the many, many, many questions still lingering about Proven Guilty. My WAG is that a future time travel story will involve Harry going back to that time to make sure Molly becomes Harry's apprentice (and eventually the Winter Lady).
morriswalters:
There was no ritual other than Harry's in PG and only two people could have summoned or sent the fetches.
The most obvious candidate for summoning the Corner Hounds is some Harry look a like. The attack doesn't make sense in the context of the book. It's a one off. And the attackers are very specific in the lore.
Second Aristh:
Opening the field to time travel shenanigans (which should be done, these are time-travel specific Outsiders), you can't really narrow down the suspects to just the list of characters we saw in PG. Time travel allows it to be anyone that fits the magical prowess criteria. People like Cowl and Kumori are fair candidates for our future time travel book occurring behind the scenes of our other case file books.
With that in mind, there's no reason to contort ourselves into knots trying to shoehorn in a PG character as the summoner. We don't yet have the summoner's motivation in order to summon cornerhounds nor proof of its intended target.
