The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Question of the day.
Conspiracy Theorist:
We saw in Peace Talks a very maternal side to Lara, she was effectively a second mother to Thomas rather than a sister. We know that Whamps have a low reproduction rate, I think this may be even more so for the female of the species, bearing a child rather than just reproducing far more risky for the child. Lara may have had centuries of miscarriages.
Raith tended to kill his Male heirs, to limit grandchildren etc plotting with their parent against him.We have no indication of Lara or her sisters having had children, we know she has approached Harry and Marcone as the two men probably strong enough to produce a surviving child with a life force strong enough be born alive to a female Whamp. This may be why she wants to marry Harry, she is desperate for a child, and thinks this is the only way.
It explains why she is so protective of Thomas, willing to put the entire White Court at risk.

We understand very little of Margaret's motivation for what she did. But we have a sketch of what she did do. For her attack to work she had to sacrifice Thomas. There is nothing in the text that says Thomas's demon revealed itself in anyway different then Inari's. It follows that Margaret did what she did purposely and with knowledge of what it would do to Thomas.
I suspect that what she used to bargain with Lea was either some knowledge she had or Harry.

I don't think the Hunger in him acted any different from Inari's Hunger. However there was no guarantee that he'd have found true love to burn it out either, when he reached puberty. As far as what it would do to Thomas, as I said there is also nothing in the text that Thomas was bitter towards her for leaving him. Now it is possible that that was because Lara explained that he was better off as a White Vampire with in the bosom of the Raith family than outside of it.

I agree about what Margaret offered. Perhaps with her knowledge of the Ways she found something very valuable for Lea.

Harry’s Memory has been mucked about so much by the Fae, he needs to straighten it out. It may explain why he is so incurious about certain subjects, like Starborn, mental blocks were installed and these are starting to erode as he gets older and more into Mab’s service.

I would love if that is the explanation for Harry's lack of curiosity in many subjects. I found that infuriating, especially in a detective, and even when I understand there can be meta, story-telling reasons, I would love to see an explanation in universe.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Things Harry is/was incurious of:-
1. The Fae
2. The Starborn
3. Bob’s origin
4. His family
5. Mister
These seem to be all linked together, remember Harry was always more curious about the Swords than any of these subjects until triggered, he researched Knights to figure out they were all the descendants of kings, but had no interest in finding out more about his family? That doesn’t make sense unless he was under a geas.
