i have one question i really want answered a few more id like answered an a billion more i hope will be answered one day lol first the big one.
-does murphy appear as a fallen angel in harry's site because every little girl is daddy's angel. i presume his 'suicide' made her fall, funny he works with uriel the balancer of scales though.
-does the mantle of kringle grant time manipulative ability?
-does justin having a straight jacket out (which he doesn't NEED) portend to a manipulation of harry to run?
-where's all the Chauncey type never never demons at? will we see?
although i have a TON more spoilery questions an a few tons more besides i'll be satisfied if you smill on those three.

My Question:
- Did Mab get pregnant by Harry?

(Even if his answer is "I am not going to answer that one", I will get my answer...  ;) )
Mine honour is my life; both grow in one; take honour from me and my life is done.

Does Ebenezer know that Thomas is his grandson?
Does Thomas know that Ebenezer is his grandfather?
Will we learn more about Margaret LeFae and her relationship with Lord Raith?
Why is Toot Toot growing?
Will Harry have to pay taxes while living on Demonreach?

Never doubt the ability of the US government to find a way to get money from you...

I forget where but Jim mentioned that Harry has no idea if Thomas and Eb know each other. 
Toot Toot is growing due to an increase in influence and power (a la Harry).  Jim jokingly made a mention of pizza as well.
Of course he will pay taxes; it is the US government after all.

Now to ask my serious questions...  :-[

Actually, right now there is only one question that keeps eating at me.

What is the truth regarding Thomas' low level of magical ability? How is it that the first born of Margaret LeFae doesn't display more magical ability?

He and few other WC vampires have a certain level of ability.  The problem is that it takes a lot of dedicated time and effort.  This brings up certain problems like...
Any other vampire would consider being tired and drained from practicing magic enough of an opening to kill them outright. 
It is often tied to their hunger so it makes their demon tired as well.
They only use it for particular uses so they tend to advance to the level of sorcerer instead of becoming full wizards.
Sam will kill him if he tries anything.

I still think there is more to it than that. If a human can practice magic, a WCV should be able to as well. They are human enough.

Probably not, on account of he's not getting any income at the moment.

But living on Demonreach shouldn't make a difference.  He's still a citizen of the US, living in the US.

The most recent WoJ that I have seen said that for whatever reason WC vamps can get good but never on the same level as the senior council.  Though I can't remember where I say that.  Can anyone link to it if they do?

Quote
Unverified WoJ from the 2011 Naperville signing:
'Are there White Court vampire wizards?'

Yes, there are. Thomas is middle-of-the-road in power and [ed: think I'm remembering this correctly] the strongest don't get as strong as mortal wizards [/ed], but they can pull off some strong tricks with their Hunger.

So, can get strong but not as strong as a wizard.
