Did I miss something...?

How many archangels in hell?

You mean Nicky is dealing with middle management and not the top man himself. Poor Nicky. The paperwork must kill him.

Still might only be one. There are levels of angels - a Cherubim might not have the power of a Seraphim, for example. Harry had never seen an archangel's power at that time - he may have thought since he had seen SOME angels, and it was beyond them, it had to be an archangel, right? Be like a European in Africa long ago. He's seen bison, and bulls, and horses. Then he sees a rhino. "I just saw the biggest animal in the WORLD!" A week later, he sees the elephant....

Just the one as far as we know. There are only five in the Dresden Files (Michael, Rafael, Gabriel, Uriel, and Lucifer).
My guess is there is a reason Lucifer didn't personally power those Signs in Small Favor. Perhaps that would have allowed direct response from another Archangel. Perhaps Lucifer can't unload his power like that.

I think that's effectively right. Harry is still fairly ignorant of a lot of things, but that's only because of his lack of experience. He can only use the information he has, but he hasn't had anywhere near enough exposure.

Then Jim isn't reading what he writes
--- Quote ---“Oh,” he said. “Can an old man offer you one more thought?”
“Sure,” I said, without turning around.
“You gotta think that maybe there’s a matter of balance, here,” he said. “Maybe one archangel invested his strength in this situation overtly and immediately. Maybe another one was just quieter about it. Thinking long-term. Maybe he already gave you a hand.”
My right hand erupted into pins and needles again.

Can that be read another way?
