The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
We gotta talk about Margaret LeFay
Zelchar:
First time poster here, so I have some catching up to do in the fan speculation stuff here. Harry's mom is composed of about 90% hearsay and rumors. Let's add some more by speculating wildly here.
Who is LeFay's mom? I'd be disappointed if it was some yet unnamed vanilla human. My money is on the Leanansidhe. Who can we add to the suspect list?
LeFay was also about a century old before she died. Do Harry and Thomas have any older siblings?
Now a hypothesis: LeFay met Malcolm after hiring him for Thomas's birthday on Valentines day. Nine months later, Harry was born on Halloween. Plausible?
What other head cannon have you been filling Margaret Gwendolyn McCoy LeFay's backstory with?
apgrey:
I think there is a WOJ that Margaret Le Fay's mother was mortal.
APG
Zelchar:
That tracks. Harry’s already leaning very close to being the specialest special one because he was born special as it is, with more details about the storborn situation coming to light.
Most of what we think we know about LeFay is from Ebenezer's bias, and name drops from the spooky side of town. I'm hyped fo fining out more about her.
For now, I'll have to content myself with rampant speculation, loose conjecture, and inductive reasoning.
So here I go... Lea might have met Ebenezer while glammed as a human. After the birth of their daughter, Ebenezer may have had an unfortunately vehement reaction to the reveal of Lea's Fay nature, like a Blackstaff might. Young Margaret might have had a predictably rebellious reaction upon learning all this, and started wondering if her dad was right about all of the bad guys being bad guys. Thus the unsavory associations

Sorry, I'm afraid you're disappointed:

Yes… Well she’s not alive any more.
Was she significant?
Well, she was a mortal. That was about it.
Editor’s note: There’s a 2011 WoJ Where Jim says if he remembers right, she died around 1810

We can fanfic otherwise, but I think this is a pretty solidly established "fact" of the Dresdenverse -- straight from the Butcher's mouth.

Except the date of 1810 doesn't exactly track with Margaret's age when Harry was born, does it? That would put her close to or over 200 when she died, I had the impression that she was closer to 100 to 150 in age. I think pushing 200 is a bit past child baring age for even a wizard, but I could be mistaken. What I base that on is the age of Luccio when her old body was replaced in Death Masks. and I seem to remember her telling Harry that at that age she no longer had a lot of sexual desire.. I know that doesn't mean she still couldn't have children, but the two usually track together.
