If you were a Minor Talent?

No, nor is Soulfire a gift that archangels hand out willy nilly...
Conspiracy Theorist:
It should also be noted that most of the significant magical artefacts in the Universe gravitate to Harry, the Eye is only the most recent example.
As the Placard shows, Harry has an intrinsic understanding of how such things work and how best to deploy them, making him their best possible custodian. The same with the Castle, he understood it immediately when other practitioners didn’t, and how to improve it. He understood how Demonreach was built and it’s defences without anyone mortal to help him. He understood how the Sword of Faith works and was likely a catalyst in its Transformation.
By The Law he has all his old tools rebuilt in record time. Previously this was months if not years of effort.
Harry is an expert technomancer, a maker of magical objects, probably up there with Klaus The Toymaker, but capable of applying his talent to large structures as well as smaller tools.
Harry is both a Destroyer and a Builder.
He is I think going to make a new major magical artifact with Soulfire, before the end of the series.
It probably won’t be a hat.

I completely agree. Especially about the swords! Ever since Luccio told Harry she can't make them any more, I am convinced she would someday teach him how.
Probably she will leave the White Council some day soon. At the latest, when it is destroyed or self-destroyed. Then she could start to teach him. Together they can found a new council with wardens who defend it's members with their new swords created by Harry.
Or Harry might be able to use his talent without Luccio's help to make himself a sword. He is a knight after all ;)
And I believe he would be able to do so, if he learns how to make normal swords first. And every castle needs a smithy, doesn't it?

If I were a minor talent, I would like some ice powers. But foresight would be cool, too. Or illusions and veils. That's what I would like.
What I think I would get:
Random mind reading and reading of emotions through other people projecting their emotions on me.

Hoping for the Hat of Retcon? As soon as Harry makes it, it magically propagates through time and space on Harry’s head wherever and whenever he is/was, so Harry always wore a hat, in every universe, all the time.
I think perhaps more likely a magical device which aids in point to point teleportation. Harry has had significant interest in teleportation and sees how useful it is. Being able to grab an enemy and teleport them to the lakeshore to Alfred would be of tremendous benefit. Saves all the trouble of having to lure them there. I note nobody teleports to Demonreach, even Mab, it may be because it is over a significant body of water and magic is grounded by water, a signal degradation effect which might be fatal, an added protection of Demonreach perhaps. Embarrasing if only 20% of you arrives or it is all jumbled up.
Teleportation is also forbidden to Wizards perhaps because of the reasons set out above, so no one has made a magical artifact aiding in it. So a safe, reliable teleporter artifact which is Dresdens ultimate Hail Mary, and can be used by others.
It strikes me Harry would have mastered teleportation using Little Chicago, at least within the City if he still had it. Little Chicago would be out of commission if it was still around as Ethnui altered the Cityscape too much. Maybe Lea or Mab rescued it after all and will give it him back now it’s broken and he can keep it properly secure this time. Of course he now has the Za Guard to help him collect samples and plenty of space to make a Map Room as part of the Castle. His hand is much better as well. New Little Chicago?
Harry wouldn’t make a sword.
He would make a gun capable of doing the same.
