Why didn’t Harry just tell Eb Thomas is also his Grandson?

Perhaps not directly, but he talks about Eb having dinner with his mother, Lord Raith, and Arrianna being present.. This is while Margaret was at the very least hanging out with Lord Raith. This is how the connection is figured out. Changes, the bloodline curse was all about planned revenge against Eb for knocking that satellite out of the sky that took out a lot of Red Court members, not Harry.

We don't know for sure if Harry ever told Thomas that Ebenezar is their grandfather. If it happened, it was off page.
Harry did not tell Ebenezar that Thomas is his grandson until they were having their big fight. This is after having a couple of years where he could have done so.
Harry also did not tell Ebenezar about Bonea. Note that the number of people who know that Bonea exists is very small.
So, Harry continues to have serious trust issues with many of the people in his life.

All that is true, it is obvious given, Eb's attitude towards vampires shaped Harry's thinking about whether or not to tell Eb. Then again, we never really see on page Harry and Thomas talking about it. In lots of ways it wasn't Harry's secret to reveal, it belonged to Thomas. Another thing, beyond the reveal in Blood Rites and the soul gaze where Margaret speaks to both her children, Thomas and Harry never speak about her. True, Thomas was a young boy when she left, but he should have some memories.. Maybe Lara will reveal some things to Harry as well.. We know she is the one who took care of young Thomas, but she would have also known a lot about who at the time was in fact her step mother. Odd don't you think? It isn't just Harry who doesn't ask questions.

That was Eb talking to Harry privately after Thomas had evacuated with Molly.
KurtinStGeorge:
What's frustrating about this topic is that even if Harry has a conversation with Thomas while he is in Demonreach, I doubt it they would talk about Ebenezer. They could, but it seems unlikely to me. So, it might only come up two books after Twelve Months; skipping Mirror Mirror, if it comes up then.
I reread the scene where Harry explains the blood curse to Thomas. Harry didn't mention the curse running from victim to parent and grandparent, so Thomas wouldn't have been clued-in from that conversation.
