Two plus two is Starborn
EBRIEN:
Also, I wonder if it cold be tied to Harry's habit of naming things and people. Just look at Toot and how he's grown as Harry has given him more responsibility along with the different titles. Word-O-Mancy?
BassetFamily:
Ebrien, I’ve thought for some time that Harry’s naming characters has some importance to the story. Remember when Harry dropped “El” from Mr Sunshine’s name or when he shortened the Earlking’s name to Earl? Those characters were quick to react and did not think the matter inconsequential. Giving Toot and Demonreach names has had significant consequences. I suspect Harry’s naming these characters gives him some ability to define their natures.
Having said that, returning to the thread topic, I prefer g33k’s concept that Harry is prescient to the idea that he is broadcasting his thoughts. Broadcasting his thoughts, even if restricted to certain “sensitive” individuals, could be a distinct weakness for Harry. And outside the phrase repetition, there is no evidence I can recall of Harry’s enemies knowing what he is thinking. For example, none of Harry’s companions in Skin Game seemed to be aware of his arrangement with Goodman Grey.

They didn't know about the arrangement with Goodman Grey because they were made at Mac's Bar with special security blockers put on by Mab.
Talby16:
We know that wizards develop some level of Sight as described as Luccio in Small Favor. Wizards develop some level of precognizance as they mature. Harry recognized his with the familiarity with the island. What if it has been stirring before that and part of it is awareness of phrases that will be said in the near future.
peterwiggin94:
As much as it disagrees with my own hypothesis, Harry developing future sight would explain several of these. Molly's description of "fun time handcuffs" feels the most like a possible coincidence. The other two are possible cases of Harry's future sight especially Cold Days. That one includes several cases of timey wimey shenanigans so Harry having minor examples of future would make sense. Plus, Harry's first example of future sight involved the island so it seems likely that he would have minor examples involving it.
However, I still prefer my theory (all credit to OP) because Jim dropping hints about Nemesis's telepathy just feels so cool to me.
