Conspiracy Theorist:
If you read Even Hand, you actually see things from Marcone’s point of view, and yes he is obsessed with Harry, even where Harry doesn’t feature in his narrative, the only person he likely fears, as so much of what he does is predicated upon Harry.
The amusing point is that it isn’t shared, Harry hardly thinks of Marcone unless he is directly involved in a case and then it is hatred.

It's been a while since I read Even Hand. I always thought that up until Changes, when he refused to help, while Harry thought him despicable on many levels he still call on him to help him on several occasions, and he did. On Marcone's part it isn't so much Harry as the power that Harry represents, that Marcone wanted access to, and got.
Conspiracy Theorist:
The bullets which killed a hero and which a require a Valkyrie 2 weeks to make are designed to go through Harry’s powerful shield and duster and kill Harry. No wonder even Ethnui felt them.
Originally Marcone had a single bullet in Even Hand (which also has lightweight doors because Harry) but in Battle Field he had a whole bandolier. Between Even Hand and Battle Field, Harry was shot by the Hell Hound and survived, so clearly a single bullet won’t do the job, as proved in Battle Field when Harry was shot in the chest (again) but was (fortunately?) struck by lightening immediately cauterising the wound.

My point is, what Marcone was always after was the power of the supernatural, that is why he approached Harry to begin with. When Harry didn't work out in the way he wanted he found other means, climaxing in accepting Namshiel's coin.. Now that will indeed give him a wizard's power on steroids, but I think the jury is out on whether or not he will get the kind of "partnership" he wants.
Will Marcone/Namshiel be "equal" like Nic/Andriel has mostly been?
Conspiracy Theorist:
With Harry, Marcone made it worse for himself, he found someone he couldn’t buy off or intimidate, but couldn’t kill either (death curse/WhiteCouncil retaliation) and that mean’t Harry worried him worse than anyone.
It was a huge mistake for Marcone to try to buy off Harry, he should have left him alone, and certainly shouldn’t have soul-gazed him.
By signing onto the Accords it gave Marcone a degree of protection against the White Council so again Harry influenced Marcone far more than the other way round.
