This is why trying to bind the Nimean Lion through Mister was a mistake. Mister chucked him out when it ceased to be fun.

Yup, Mister is omnipotent, and when the Nimean Lion went after his cat nip mouse, it put an end to his tolerance.

Yes, but they were pretty key choices; and they were close to the end of the book.
In #1 (at Bianca's), think what the consequence would have been. Harry would have walked out safe, but the personal cost to him would have been unbearable; losing Susan not to death, but to monster-hood. It would have been poison working in his soul, an inescapable reminder that he wasn't good enough, smart enough, strong enough, brave enough. He would never have escaped the self-blame trap after that.
With #2 (at the beach) Harry would have become Susan's only hope, only lifeline. She wouldn't have connected with the Fellowship in Latin America, learned self-control from them. Her lessons would have been the best Harry could come up with; but not as good as the Ramp-specialized methods of St.Giles.
Harry would have had a Whamp "friend" (brother) and a half-Ramp girlfriend; the White Council would have been even-more distrusting. But Harry would have needed the WC even less, with such potent enforcers at his side. And many of the Case Files would likely have been "solved" with applications of force.
Plus, with tormented-Susan right there in his face on a daily/weekly/etc basis, he'd have driven himself even harder towards a breakdown (remember, it was "rescuing-Susan research" (and guilt over Susan) that had Harry in such a bad state, at the beginning of Summer Knight).

All of those know Harry is strong and wouldn't be interested in facing him in combat just to see how strong...

Men change a lot after 16... I think that is all he was when he fought Justin. though Justin is dead and I think Cowl is male. Eb's seen him repeatedly over the years, though, and will have a better eye.

Harry is one of if not the strongest wizards of his generation, Justin was aware of that, I don't see Justin making that comment even if he was alive.
