The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Question of the day.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Uriel strikes me as the White God’s go to guy, so he has his fingers in lots of pies.
The Knights, Starborn, afterlife enforcement - we have only seen the tip of the iceberg.
Malcolm is most likely a special soul, and shepherded by the Angel of death because his good work attracted the oppositions special attention, most souls do not get this attention. Because of who he was he volunteered to work after he was due for his reward in heaven, he wasn’t conscripted to work his way into heaven like Jack Murphy, whose deal came about because his suicide was prompted by external supernatural forces.
In a similar fashion Murphy and Hendricks were conscripted by Odin, they will eventually go to heaven/Valhalla etc. Murphy as a former Knight was a sure thing for Heaven, Hendricks really benefits from this deal, that’s not where you would expect him to go.
Jack Murphy’s case is more analogous to Hendricks than Malcolm’s.
Mira:
You cannot think of Malcolm alone though without thinking of his wife, Margaret. She redeemed herself, he is the reason for her redemption. Either they are working together as a pair for Uriel, or they are in Heaven as a pair.

That was flip on my part so I apologize. Still the point is that no one else in the text speaks to anybody who has gone to Heaven. I get it that Harry is a Chosen One, and as such, is special. But I don't understand why Uriel would balance anything that Lash does. Harry knows of or at least suspects her presence since he has the sigil and is concealing the fact that he picked up the coin.
Currently my thinking on the Jabberwock is that it is indicative of Lucifer or the Outsiders.

Harry no longer has the sigil, that disappeared when he rejected Lash's last offer that he pick up the coin, then he dug it up and Father Forthill took it. Harry mentions a "white scar" where the sigil mark used to be. Harry stupidly perhaps not believing how dangerous they were once touched, picked up the coin to save little Harry, though it would have been better to pick up little Harry to save him from touching the coin. Then he buried the coin and put a magic circle around it thinking that would keep it's affects contained. It didn't he still got the shadow of Lasciel in his head. Having said all of that, picking up the coin isn't the same as accepting the coin. Harry never accepted the coin even though the shadow of Lasciel put him under tremendous pressure. He instead transformed the shadow into Lash because of her love for him. That is so rare that it really had never happened before.. That is why he was gifted with Soul Fire.
Perhaps not speak of anyone going to Heaven, but Uriel at the end of Ghost Story hints at it. Supposedly he was giving Harry a choice, to work for him like Captain Murphy because he wasn't prepared for what comes next. Harry asks him what he means by that exactly?

I would think that judgement comes first, and I assume that however that comes out, it is Heaven or Hell from there.
Dina:
I agree with those who said Malcolm was special because he was good, not because he had angelic blood or anything like that. He "simply" was good, like Father Forthill. And I think his good deeds (including Margaret's redemption) granted him a blessed afterlife, which includes some rewards, like having the chance of seeing Harry. By the way, I think Margaret herself got some kind of reward too. In one of the first books Harry feels a woman with him, who helped him when he was about to do something wrong, and that feeling increases when he touches his pendant. I think she was granted some chance to watch over him.
