Yup, so apparently there is one under every rock, we now know of at least three..
Harry
Drakul
Listen
Elaine (possible starborn?)
... So yes I'm proposing that Harry slips into the Mirror dimension prior to consummating his marriage to Lara... Maybe Eb does "what he thinks is best" for Harry and shifts him over to keep him from Lara

I've seen this comment (or those like it a lot), but I just don't understand it. Yes, there have been more Starborns revealed (two) in the last book than the previous 16, but still having three is VERY small in the large scheme of the DresdenVerse. Even if you included the possible/suspected Starborns (5 total called out previously in this thread), then you still have less than half a dozen. I understand that Starborns are rare and that something is killing them off, but it is not inconceivable that we have seen 3 or 5 of them (from varying cycles) over 17 books.
I think some people had originally understood "Starborn" to be a unique sort of Chosen One. One per cycle.
So they feel a bit peeved when Jim keeps pulling new starborn's out of his... hat.

Harry isn't that special. So what?Somebody needs to share that with Butcher. Harry's risen from the dead. He's the Winter Knight. He hang's with Archangels. And he knows a thing who knows a thing. It's draining after a while. He needs to get to the point. Or not depending on how you feel about it.
... Harry's risen from the dead.Well... from the almost-dead. ;)
He's the Winter Knight.Honestly, this is nothing much. I think Bob likened the Knights to Kleenex -- useful for a certain kind of mess, but fundamentally disposable, and not worth much attention or effort, nor any regret for their loss.
He hang's with Archangels.Yeah, this one seems like an extreme case of "exceptionality." Uriel himself mentions that his degree of interaction with Harry is highly unusual. "I can hardly remember the last time I spent this much time with one particular mortal" (n.b. not I can't remember (which would imply NEVER... because... Uriel ffs!)). So, a turn of phrase, a vernacular meaning "it has been a very long time."
And he knows a thing who knows a thing.Honestly, this one is just Harry... It's the trope of the "hard boiled PI."
