The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
The way Blood on his soul survived?
Conspiracy Theorist:
Harry can defeat the Barabas curse, or at least Nick thinks he can so hasn’t cast it on him.
Harry has survived entropy curses, death curses, prophecy etc the Barabas Curse would just have to take a ticket in the queue with an alarmingly high number.
I wonder however if Harry is immune because he has devined that the noose is the only thing that can kill its wearer and tried to use it to kill Nick, coming closer than anyone has ever done. That knowledge and action is protecting him, uniquely. If you know how to kill the unkillable man wearing the noose, then the man wearing the noose cannot use the failsafe way of killing any man using the noose.
The_Sibelis:
Or because he's been targeted and someone sacrificed themselves for him already, so he can't be targeted again?
*Heck, everyone talks about Cassius's death curse in relation to Murphy, but Nic could have done it too. Small petty revenge from whatever hole he's currently hiding in.... That.. might explain why the knights showed up in reply. They were on duty there.

--- Quote ---In Book 5 when Harry gets hit with the Barabbas Curse and Shiro takes it for him so he doesn’t die, what stops Nicodemus from just doing the Barabbas Curse on Harry again?
JB: It takes a while to set it up and get going. You can’t just whip it out and say here’s a curse. There’s got to be blood sacrifice and ritual and all this other stuff that goes along with it. Otherwise he’d just use it every day, for fun. That guy cut me off in traffic. Barabbas Curse. Because he totally would.

I'm also almost positive at some point Jim said that because someone sacrificed them self for Harry, that it can't be cast at him again. Not positive though.

Shiro sacrificed himself for Harry back in Death Masks, maybe that is why Cassius's curse wasn't all that effective?
Conspiracy Theorist:
Different curses Barabas, entropy, death and what Michael said at the end of Battle Ground.
I do like to think that after that particular dam burst Michael was quite unable to issue a single sentence thereafter without it including major profanities, no matter how innocuous the intent.
