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

Eb earlier, but he also knew Eb's attitude towards vampires. What is interesting is that Eb never figured it out, especially given the events in Changes and the bloodline curse..

Maybe Eb thinks his grandson was killed by Raith, who usually killed his male heirs?

That is possible, but his violent reaction was to the fact that Margaret consensually slept with Raith at all, let alone had a child by him. However Eb may have been in denial about this for years.
KurtinStGeorge:
I agree with Mira. Also, looking at the way Ebenezer freaked out and attacked Lara in Turn Coat, when Lara said she was going to travel with Harry, I'm pretty sure Harry made the right decision not telling Eb about Thomas earlier. It just wasn't going to go well.
Even if in a later book Thomas should show up in front of Ebenezer as a KotC, I feel fairly certain that Eb wouldn't believe what he was seeing. Not right away.
vincentric:
The only opportunity to tell Eb was the breakfast visit in PT. Right after Harry invoked guest rights on EB, he could have stopped Thomas from leaving and had an impromptu family meeting. Perhaps in Next Book, we'll learn what caused the feud between Eb and the Whamps. I don't even think Lara knows the details of how it became so personal.

That would have made sense. Has Harry told Thomas that Eb is his Grandfather?
