We are to understand the alt Harry of Mirror, Mirror split from Dresden Prime in Grave Peril, choosing Susan over Michael instead of trying to save both.

That's too early in the book; WoJ says Harry's crucial Choice comes near the end.
I think there are two likely Choices --
#1, as he emerges from the basement to Bianca's villain-monologue ambush, and calls half-turned Susan to her side. She offers to let Harry walk, and Bianca will keep Susan. Harry could have done that, saved Justine & himself, Susan was already lost to him (there being no known way back from half-Ramp).
#2, at the very end, where he has tracked Susan to a beach. She tells him she's going away, and he... just lets her walk. He could have argued much harder, likely convinced her to stay.

Neither choice would have changed things as far as Susan goes, she was lost to him in either case. If he had made the first choice, little Maggie might never have been born.

Dead Beat - Chapter 8: "Just as well," Cowl murmured. "I have wanted to see for myself what has the Wardens so nervous about you."
Kills all the Alternate Harry (including time travel) theories.
Cowl is NOT Harry, Cowl has access to Warden reports or Warden gossip (Peabody could have provided this, but the nature of the statement feels more personal than relayed by Peabody could account for), Cowl is NOT a Warden. Cowl isn't worried about going up against someone who makes Wardens nervous. Based on the fact that Cowl is in Chicago when the Sr Council is regrouping and hiding after the council got hit hard repeatedly and almost wiped out... Cowl was not on the Sr Council durring Dead Beat (or he would have been missed)... The most likely candidates for Cowl are the people mentioned when Eb takes his seat on the Sr Council or Cristos.
The above quote also kills Justin theories and similar people from Harry's past.

Cowl could have a spy in the Council.. Or Cowl is actually a member of the Council and assumes such a low profile talent wise and so benign appearing in his day to day activities that he goes unnoticed, but he notices everything. The Council isn't a bag of the brightest pennies when it comes to this, powerful wizards like Mort and Elaine can pass through life more or less unnoticed if they choose to be unnoticed.
