Personally I think the more interesting topic is how being exposed to a part-rampire will influence any magic she might develop.

TWG is hiding in those Wrigley Field parking lots Michael and Harry use.

EDIT: What's fascinating is that Butcher has drawn a strong correlation between size and power, at least with the Fae. We've discussed before in other threads, I think Maggie Sr spent most of her pregnancy in fast or slow time Nevernever zones to guarantee Harry would be starborn. Her own height aside, I've long wondered if Harry's near-outlier height is an expression of Butcher's Fae correlation.

Perhaps, but doesn't Harry's mother's spirit say something along the lines of Harry has his father's height? Maybe Harry is not unusual amongst Dresden men.  I seem to recall Bill Walton and Patrick Ewing both having sons who played in the NBA who were roughly Harry's size

Yes, and we have no clue whether or not Harry has uncles or aunts, or what his maternal grandparents looked like..  Harry's height could have come from them, also each generation
appears to have gotten taller because of nutrition and other factors.  Though admitted six foot nine is way above your average height.. Which brings up another inconsistency, Jim writes Maggie like a much younger child than she is, he often writes Harry like a much shorter man than he is.  For years he supposedly slept in a twin bed, my son at six foot seven has a hard time in a standard double be, it is almost impossible if he wife is in it with him. The other is the Blue Beetle, especially when he'd have other people in it with him..  My friend had a Beetle and my brother who was six foot eight could hardly fit in the front seat.  My son has a hard time in my Honda Element, he can just fit with the seat back as far as it will go.  There was an old advertisement for the Beetle with Wilt Chamberlain who was over seven feet, "they said it couldn't be done, and it couldn't."  He didn't fit at all.
