Did I miss something...?
vincentric:
I read it as Lucifer acted overtly and Uriel quietly. What are you getting from it?

Yuillegan's last two posts.

If Lucifer acts overtly or covertly Uriel is empowered to act, but Uriel can choose the manner and time of that help.
Lucifer expended enormous energy in creating the spell which captured the Archive. Gifting Harry with Soulfire is seen to match that enormous expenditure. However that use of Soulfire is over time, is still paying back and will to the future. Harry used only the smallest part in rescuing Ivy, and yet Harry still prevailed, and still has access to Soulfire, which is why Harry is now a target of Lucifer. Lucifer made a mistake and Uriel exploited it in a fashion which is ultimately going to cost Lucifer going forwards far more than his own actions obtained any benefit.
Harry as a Starborn may have been a legitimate mortal force multiplier for Uriel to play giving back 100 times or more the initial investment. So far it has resulted the saving of the Archive, the extinction of the Red Court, the capture of the Titan and strengthening of the Accords. A whole list of unintended consequences. If Harry is turned Lucifer gets that force multiplier going forward. Not worked so far.

You ASSUME unintended consequences. Could be Uriel is smarter than we are... I would expect an archangel to be. Not omniscient, but pretty darn smart.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Unintended consequences for Lucifer, he appears to have a blindspot for such, otherwise he wouldn’t be where he is.
Uriel seems to genuinely play the long game and has an immense amount of his time invested in Harry, lending Michael his grace was incredibly risky but succeeded, the first instalment on that risk was the use of the Spear by Harry to bind Ethnui, save the day and bolster the Accords (everyone is going to be like Finland and Sweden now, I suspect the Tuathan and several of the other Wild Fae Kingdoms will now join). With Harry leading the charge to drop the masquerade between the human and supernatural worlds definitely part of Uriels agenda.
Uriel expects Harry to act like Harry, only now with Soulfire and the Superweapons.
