Dabble Interview 23 August 2023
vincentric:
Bonea would be Bob's apprentice. Harry would be teaching her about life in general to give her grounding, but her magic would be of the same nature as Bob's.

I think Harry is putting in extra effort to keep pervy Bob far far away from Bonea while she's putting herself together.
Conspiracy Theorist:
If Bonea manifests Harry might not have a choice.
Helping Bonea learn to be human may help Harry get back in touch with his humanity despite the Mantle and everything that has happened to him. Harry learnt much teaching Molly and became a better wizard, who is to say the same wouldn’t happen with Bonea, learning control, to think things through, and to appreciate consequences. Bonea has all of Harry’s memories up to birth, ideal in examining his past decisions.
CrusherJen:
I agree with both Mira and g33k: Maggie can't inherit Rampness or anything of a vampiric nature directly from Susan.
But-- we've been told that children in utero are exposed to their mother's magic, and that can affect their likelihood of becoming a wizard themselves. It happened with Charity and Molly; despite Charity denying her magic, there was enough influence left during the pregnancy for Molly to develop a talent of her own.
Susan wasn't a wizard, but she still had something supernatural about her nature-- plus she had the magical tattoos that warned when her Rampness was in danger of taking over. I think it's possible that such early exposure might tip the scales toward little Maggie developing her own wizardry abilities someday. It's not quite the same thing as Maggie "inheriting" Ramp powers. It's (IMHO) a question of increasing Maggie's odds of being magically strong enough to become a practitioner, if not a full wizard herself.
I could be wrong. But it's a theory (or maybe a WAG.) 🤷♀️

Possible.
We don't have any real info to go upon.
AFAIK, the Dresden Files offers zero cases of a "half Rampire" mother (other than Susan).
As I said, the real issue is how Jim wants to write it... he can justify it, in-universe from prior statements, either way.
