"Hooded one" is hood. Odin is Cowl.

Nemfecting the Faerie Godmother of a Starborn Wizard, and the right hand of the Outer Gates' chief guardian??!?
Well... yes... If Odin felt that Mab had grown too complacent, too self-confident. Odin might have felt that WinterQueen + Starborn were sufficient guardrails upon a known Nemfection... a "calculated risk." It is, admittedly, a very cold-blooded and calculating sort of action; but I think it hardly beyond Odin's strategic grasp.
And although Mab lost her daughter, it's worth noting: Mab's contingencies were, in fact, sufficient to contain the mess!

Maybe not beyond his grasp, but still rather doubtful.

Oh yeah! It's a VERY longshot sort of WAG!
But Odin's the kind of guy who'd be willing to do it, if he thought it needed doing.

Reminds me of a line from an old movie called, "Laura." Two women are talking about the
murder of another woman and whether a man they were mutually interested in had done it..
One says to the other that the man wasn't capable of murder, but while she didn't do it, she, herself was capable of committing murder... In other words just because Odin is capable of doing it, and no one is disputing that, but that doesn't mean he'd actually do it. At least not as a training exercise for Harry.

No; I'm saying he's more than just "capable" of doing it.
If he thought it needed doing, he'd be entirely willing, and would not flinch.
(I don't think he did; but I think it's intriguingly-possible)

I guess I define capable differently than you do... To me if you are capable of doing it, you are also willing to do it and not flinch.. However none of that says that it would be smart to do it. Odin isn't a stupid god.
