So it is highly likely Mother Winter's lost walking stick is now known as the Blackstaff.  So what would Harry do if Eb were to die (In battle or murdered) and Harry picked up the staff.  Would he accept the post of the new Blackstaff; assuming it was offered to him, or would he return Mother Winter's walking stick to her?

With the first option Harry gets to break all the laws of magic and do everything he despises without going insane.  The second option puts the staff back in the hands of a being that thinks that Mab is too soft.

I would like to ask if Harry will go on the Larry Fowler Show again.  It might be an insignificant question on its face, but I think it might be an important moment if it occurs.  Aside from from settling Harry's legal problems, it might represent a turning point in how Harry both handles his mundane problems and presents himself to the outside world.

In Dead Beat, Li Xian drives "an old Chrysler" at the Wardens and the children they were protecting from the undead.  Then Harry has Sue leap on the car, "Sue landed one clawed foot on the street, and the other came down squarely on the Caddy's hood..."

Mopar fans and Cadillac enthusiasts (I used to own a 59 Coupe de Ville myself) were not amused by the mixing up of Chrysler and GM cars.

Not that odd really, Harry probably had a massive power advantage, foci (Justin probably didn't carry his around 24/7) and a lot of anger to back him up, its not unlikely these all combined to give Harry victory over Justin.

I agree with all of the above.  I would add that it is not unlikely that Justin underestimated Harry as well.  Justin probably had a good idea of Harry's potential, but how could he have known that the scared sixteen year old who had just ran away from him would roast HWWB at the gas station; if it was Justin that sent the demon, and make a deal with the Leanansidhe, which gave Harry the confidence to take on his teacher.

Not that the killing of Quintas Cassius isn't an interesting topic, but I'd like to get back to the original question. (Personally, I think Harry just did what a Warden would do when taking a prisoner into custody isn't really practical.  I suspect the way he did in Corpsetaker affected him more deeply.)

I think the deal young Harry made with Lea might have stained him a bit.  After all he traded himself for the POWER to take on Justin and win.  Maybe Harry didn't really need Lea's help, maybe she tricked him into making a bad deal, but he made it and it probably had an effect on him.

In Storm Front, Harry channels lighting to blast the toad demon while protecting Susan.  That took something out of him.

In Fool Moon, Harry never felt as low as when Murphy arrested him because she thought he was holding out information or directly had a hand in Kim Delaney's death.  Murphy chipped his tooth as well.

Also in Fool Moon, Harry was shot in shoulder when Tera West helped him escape police custody.

In Grave Peril, Harry feels responsible for the deaths of the innocents at Bianca's party.  Even though they might have all been dead before Harry torched Bianca's place.

In Small Favor, Harry was starting to suffer from hypothermia while waiting in the water on the reef off of Demonreach island while for Thomas to rescue him.

In Ghost Story Harry finds out that trying to go through walls painted with Ghost Dust is very painful.

In Storm Front Harry was jumped by the thug who was betraying his boss Marcone for Victor Sells.  The second time he had his hair cut and taken which traumatized him.

In Summer Knight Grum was beating Harry pretty good until Lea pretended to be an upset neighbor who had called the police.

In Proven Guilty Harry realized his macho antics of doing an extended beat down on the alien looking Fetch, may have contributed to the death of one of the Fetch's victims.  She bled out while the fight was going on.  Harry was pretty upset about that.

When Madrigal Raith was auctioning off Harry on Ebay, he had to dislocate his hand to get out of the handcuffs.  Even with Lash's help it was very painful. 

In White Night Harry fell through the ice and nearly drowned.  Either a bullet bounced off his bullet proof duster and gave him a concussion or he hit his head on the ice and suffered a concussion.

After the duel Lara nearly ate Harry, but he kind of enjoyed that.

If I remember any more I will post them.

Someone else expressed what I am about to say much better in another thread which I can't find, but it goes something like this:

What Mab said was a lie, but it was a lie that she believed.  She wasn't knowingly telling a lie.

Considering that the church thought Lasciel's coin was in a monastery in Chile when Nicodemus offered it to Harry, I would say that it is quite possible that Nicodemus stole it again while no one was looking and gave it to someone else.

Don't you get the feeling that at some point Harry is going to have a conversation with Lasciel, I mean Lasciel and whatever poor fool took up her coin?
