The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Why did Dumorne put the mental whamy on when he did?
Con:
Could be he was ordered or pressured to by The Walker.
He Who Walks Behind set up the whole gas station scene to test and prime Harry into violence. Walkers are major league you can't summon one easily. One just happened to be around at Harry's first true trial?
Might be the walker was already waiting in the wings and dumorne (cough kemmler cough) was under pressure to prepare Harry for it in time.

--- Quote ---Elsethread was posed the question: what if it was an attempted Nemfection?
Would young-Harry, half-trained and in a panic, have even known the difference?

How could he? Until Harry pushed Titania to name names, he didn't even know Nemesis existed, and Harry is just now learning what it is capable of. Hind sight is 20/20 and I wouldn't be surprised if Harry revisits what happened that day with fresh eyes knowing what he knows now and will learn in future books.

Perhaps he got wind of the Leansidhe coming to check up on Harry or even take him away? Justin was a Warden, but I doubt he could have stopped her if she were determined or bound by her deal with Maggie Sr.

Or he underestimated how quick a 16 year old kid can move when he is scared.

I don't think we have enough info. Furthermore, what info we do have is highly-suspect: every time Harry recalls the events or has a flashback, we see something very different. We know harry was right off of a mental trauma, with consequent likely memory-issues.

What if it wasn't even communicated / collaborated between Justin & HWWB? What if Justin wasn't in league with the Walker at all, but detected the Walker's arrival (much as Harry and Eb did the cornerhounds in Peace Talks) then panicked, and tried to force the Starborn wizard(s) to be ready...?
