The only other wizard I can think of that had/has disciples/followers on that level, was Kemmler.

I'm pretty sure that the White Christ (as Mab called him in Changes) had disciples/followers on that level too.

This has been considered, but I don’t think she would be very gentle with him.

To be fair, neither was Molly, and he survived that...

Are we forgetting that a White Court Vampire seduced and then murdered Ebenezer's daughter?

When Harry brought that up in chapter 12, Eb made it clear that that wasn't the only reason why he hated White Court Vampires:

I assume that Butcher is trying to show the change in Butters over time, but he’s not acting like a Knight of the Cross – he’s acting like a Knight of the Sidhe.

Consensual non-monogamy seems perfectly in line with a Knight of the Cross to me.

The Knights of the Cross work for God, and God is love.

But it took the combined might of Zeus, Poseidon and Hades to defeat their father Cronus/Kronos. Which puts in perspective just how strong these Titans are.

Well, Harry already has one thing in common with Zeus: He has gestated a spirit of intellect in his head. Maybe he'll become more like Zeus in other ways too.

Isn't Ebenezer a descendant of Merlin? That would make Harry a descendant of Merlin too.

Butters doesn't seem to know or care about any connection between his ancestry and his status as a Knight. The one time he does bring it up is as an admittedly tongue-in-cheek reference to "Return of the Jedi" at the beginning of "Day One." ("I am a Jedi Knight, like my father before me.")

Even notwithstanding the fact that everyone is descended from a monarch, who says that the bearers of the Swords have to be descended from monarchs?

I don't think any of the parallels between the Dresden Files and Greek myth are perfect. But to the extent that Marcone and "Demeter" are not at each other's throats the way Hades and Demeter were, it could be a case of them both keeping their friends close and their enemies closer.

She is also responsible for the seasons in Ancient Greece - the 6 months she was down in Hades’ realm was Summer, where as the 6 months she was on earth were considered Winter.

Corrected. Summer is the most brutal and barren season of the year in Greece, and winter the most mild and fertile; thus, in the original telling of the myth, the time of year that Persephone spends with Hades is the hottest time of the year; with Demeter, the coolest.

The story changed as it traveled northward to areas where summer is milder and winter harsher.

Do we know that anyone besides Sells ever created ThreeEye? I'm pretty sure all of his stock was destroyed the night he died.

Harry was a Starborn wizard.  He may not have achieved great power yet, but he was far ahead of the curve for most wizards his age.  And the Angel-caliber entities will know he's Starborn, and will see his early power pointing to his upcoming puissance.

And we KNOW they play long-term and often subtle strategies...

Did some Fallen Angel tell Harry a Lie in Storm Front or earlier in Fool Moon, though? It's not like Uriel to tell Harry a Truth for any other reason.

But then, Uriel isn't the only archangel, is he?

Maybe Bob did see Bonnie, and just decided not to tell Harry about her, since Harry didn't ask about her.

Uriel wouldn't have told Harry that seven-word truth in Fool Moon unless some other angelic being had told him a seven-word lie prior to then, and angelic beings were way out of Harry's league as of Fool Moon.

And souls can be restored too. Harry doesn't have a finite amount of Soulfire for the rest of his life; he just has to make sure not to use too much, too quickly, and not give himself an opportunity to enjoy himself.

Though, as Winter Knight, he'll probably have very few opportunities to enjoy himself anyway, and Molly as Winter Lady will have even fewer...
