This is true. And over on the Dresden side of the family... we have a very small sample size, but there seems to be a pretty good possibility it will be passed down (father, daughter, and both grandchildren all show some level of ability.) I expect Maggie will have power of some sort... but I've been wrong before. 🤷♀️ It's up to Jim.

I got the impression from the short story about her trip to the zoo with Mouse that she did indeed have talent, just not apparent to her dad yet.
Conspiracy Theorist:
She had abilities shared with all other young children to see certain things an adult could not perceive, and lost knowledge of as they grew up. The Carpenters were mentioned but they hardly prove a point as they produced a Wizard, and therefore do not provide a control group. Some rather than all and with a degree of talent no matter how minor can be inserted in.
raidem:
I prefer the belief that Maggie got something from being born from a Half-turned Red Court Vampire. It was a portion of power that she was exposed to 'in vitro'. That power hadn't been thoroughly tainted or set as Susan had yet to feed. It could be that Maggie won't come into some semblance of the Half Red Court Vampire power until her middle teens or young adulthood. Even if she didn't get power while Susan was pregnant, Maggie was at the Seat of the Red Court Vampire's Power in Chicken Pizza. It could very well be that as a youngster she was still able to absorb some of the ambient mana. I actually prefer the idea that Maggie becomes some sort of Princess for the Remaining Red Court Vampires that are out there. I like the idea that the Eebs come to be her behind the scene bodyguards/minions at some point.

1. Harry gets a Valkyrie bodyguard,
2. Harry gets a new apprentice

I'm still of the mind that Murphy intersects in Identity with Mab at some point. I know i've postulated the Murphy/Mab theory before. I even allowed for it to be in past, future, or parallel reality. Murphy was one of the few females that were locked down with Mab in Demonreach when Maeve believed it was possible for Mab to die. I'd think that with near infinite parallel realities some Mab did die there and one of the alternate females absorbed Mab's mantle. I'm assuming that Maeve died too. Or, the possibility that Maeve's/Lily's death led to someone other than Maeve's/Lily's Mantle going to someone different than Molly/Sarissa. Perhaps a Murphy got the Lady Mantle then.
I was one of the first to think of the alternate Mab's existence in the parallel realities as being Out Mab's. We do now have WOJ that Mab talks at times with her Other Selves in the other Parallel Universes. We also know that a Parallel Mab can sense minions of another Parallel Mab that finds themselves in Her Reality. She would then just use them as if they were her own. I think our Mab would be aware of some change in another Mab with a different mortal being 'the cup' that holds that Mantle.
