Harry still hosts Lasciel's Shadow

Unless the Knights have known all along that the Shadow wasn't gone. Harry never really made a big deal of it, to most of his friends; neither the presence of Lasciel's Shadow, nor the loss of Lash.
They *expected* to smell the brimstone, didn't find it worth mentioning, since clearly Harry wasn't ready to talk about it...
And nobody else was there to notice, or report (barring Rudy, but... yeah.).
(Edit -- I don't mean to suggest that it's an obvious and incontrovertible "fact" that the Shadow's still there; but it's a distinct possibility... and not really contradicted, that I can see, anywhere in DV canon) .

Really, deep down, Harry is a boy scout and a powder puff and wouldn't harm a fly. However if anybody was living in the Hotel Dresden, and Bonea, Molly and Uriel are unaware of it, then the place must have more rooms then Hilbert's Hotel.
Having gotten that out of my system, my distaste for the idea doesn't mean it isn't where Butcher is going. However it might be a mistake to think that Harry is Simon Pure and doesn't have a little demon hidden in the old closet that isn't named Lash. The events of Battle Ground aren't the first time that Harry thought about going over to the Dark Side..

Bonea may be "part of the problem" so to speak. Or she may have simply been created with a specific blind-spot (akin to Bob's inabilty to recall anything to do with Kemmler's lore; in fact, very-directly-parallel... except designed with an extra few million years' experience).
Molly just isn't playing in that league. She's very, very good ...
For a mortal wizard ...
With less than a decade of experience.
Uriel... <shrug>
I don't think we can evaluate him.
Mr. Sunshine is playing the long game. Very, very long. And in the end, it's only the Shadow of the Fallen, and a Shadow that Harry has been mostly-resisting for years. Uriel may be perfectly happy with how Harry is shaping-up as a "Shadowed" mortal.

Nobody has ever suggested that Harry is Simon Pure, nobody is, no even Michael.. Yes, and even Michael is capable of going off the deep end when a loved one is hurt. That's one of the lessons if you watch your Star Wars, that is why the Jedi are supposed to remain emotionally detached, they can lose it over a loved one and not get back. That's what happened to Vader..
Conspiracy Theorist:
Michael also has a potty mouth which apparently lasted from Murphy’s funeral to a couple of weeks later when it finally stopped and he could undertake a hospital visit to a sick child without unintentionally expanding its vocabulary. Apparently he couldn’t help himself, he was swearing every waking moment and even swearing even in his sleep.
Even Michael represses things. Just be glad he hadn’t forsworn maturation, it would have killed him withe dehydration and blood loss.
