I find it plausible he will already have done so in between books so that it will act more as a teaching device than a constant crutch. It was after all more than just raw knowledge, it was her instincts and what i'd define as 'understanding' of the ways.

to the OP. to me the pentagram to me is more so a symbol of Harry's total belief in magic. he has a true "Faith" in magic. as how he generates his faith magic centered on his amulet. his Mother knew he was to become the "Starborn". she wanted to help him, thus giving him a focus/symbol to help guide him. thus as a side effect he gets a stubborn soul to help give resilience to mind/ soul magics. let him attain soul fire, since he only got a nudge. the rest was on him. so his "Faith" helps him be a strong Starborn maybe?

Margret knew Harry would be a starborn, and made that pentagram just for him. He has used it as a focus before, I wonder if she might have made it just for a starborn.

If I remember correctly Harry's pentagram belonged to Margaret, or so he keeps saying..  It is one of the few physical things supposedly handed down to him from her.  But then again Thomas also wears a pentagram identical to the one Harry wears, well not quite, his now has a road map gem of the Ways in it.  So she must have had them made for her boys..  As far as we know, Thomas isn't starborn and Margaret wasn't starborn, yet they wear and wore a pentagram.

The people who wear a pentacle in the series to date are Harry, Margaret, Thomas, and Elaine. Harry wears it both because it was his mother's, and because he believes in what it represents, thanks to his grandfather: Magic confined within a circle of human will. Given what we know about Margaret,  it seems likely that she wore it for reasons similar to Harry, because it was what she believed. Thomas pretty much wears it only because it is a gift from his mother. He even goes into how he doesn't see magic the way Harry does, in Back Up. And we have no insight into why Elaine wears it, but I think she was wearing it back at Justin's as well. We know so little about her past, or her current way of thinking, that it becomes hard to assign motives there.

I wonder if there could be an advantage to giving Bonnie a sanctum with one placed in it.

Justine should get one for being a baby momma. Do we know if McCoy has one, Maggie had to have got the idea from somewhere?
