Would Cowl know that Mouse could banish the Nemean Lion? Maybe, but maybe not. The necromancer would have had to gather some solid intel on Harry to learn that Mouse is a Foo Dog.
So we should assume that Mouse now knows Cowl's scent, and that Cowl isn't anyone that Mouse has met before else he would have recognized Cowl in this story. That should narrow the list of suspects.
Apropos to maybe nothing, but has Mouse met the Gatekeeper?
Then BG happens. And bob says that Mab and Titania fight as practice. In the end of the book when Titania shows up it seems she genuinely loves her sister. There could be other reasons why they don’t talk.
If they came after him one at a time, like a Bruce Lee movie, sure. Alfred could take out the whole White council. But can he target multiple targets at once? We don't really know that. When he fought Lara and Freydis on the island, he didn't ever target both at the same time. He bound Lara in the grass. Then he swatted Freydis with a tree. Lara pulled free, Harry put her in quicksand. Freydis came on, Harry sank her too. One at a time. The hardcases may not be able to hurt Alfred, but they could Harry. Alfred can protect him against any - but all? We don't know yet
The SC might have studied up on the island and knew its capabilities. Harry as powerful has he is still a child by SC standards. Not even a teenager. They may believe they can take him. ...
They seem to realise what happened pretty quickly. Once harry starts talking
And zero chance of Ivy being his half-sister as Margaret has not been said to be the previous Archive. That surely would have come up by now. Also the age gap tends to make it unworkable given both Harry's parents were dead before Ivy was born.
So, given that, they should be briefed on all the major magical shenanigans going on in the world.
My theory is, the "Mistfiend" isn't from the Nevernever, but is a very-minor Outsider, primarily dangerous because of all the Mordite... which is a substance native to the Outside (so, no: I doubt a Mordite Bullet would affect an Outsider).
But I expect Harry hasn't forgiven Rudy, and having been thwarted in the moment, is now thinking of a more Mab-inspired retribution (slower and colder).
I think this could be part of Twelve Months, if Jim decides to make it so (or it might be deferred to another book).
Perhaps he didn't try because there is no way to lift the curse. I need to go back to reread the passage, but I believe Bob said as much. I also think that McFinn and all of his ancestors would have searched for and found it if there was a way. The only way to end it for the McFinns was to end the last McFinn, which Harry did. However that doesn't mean there aren't other families out there suffering from the same kind of curse, so I wouldn't be shocked if there are more Loops out there, they just aren't McFinns.
... Lea may have had something to do with Justin's defeat, though Jim has said that all she gave Harry was confidence.
Like I said, Justin may have been over confident, got careless because he thought he knew what Harry could do, and that was all that Harry needed. If I remember correctly Justin's death was due to a lot of KABOOM from Harry causing the house to burn down and him with it. Remember the KABOOM was so big that until Summer Knight Harry thought he had killed Elaine along with Justin.
But he's going to know about Warden business in Chicago.
