The biggest problem is Lash: we have a WOJ saying Lash was in GS. Who can it be except the parasite?
Why can't it be both?
Quote from: Location 3114(ish), Ch. 17
Demonreach growled. In all capital letters.
And the headache vanished.
One second, my scalp was tightening up as two separate ice picks dug into my skull in the same places they always did, and the next the pain was utterly gone.
So, just to play devil's advocate, here's the theory. HWWW did indeed infect Dresden at some point in the past, but has always lain low. Similarly to Lash, it could have made itself known to some portion of Harry's subconscious (or not), but it's smart. Harry's important for some reason, and the last thing it wants is to be discovered. Lash commits quasi-harry-karry (misspelled on purpose), leaving room in his mind for the Nemesis to take further root. Previous headaches were initially caused by Lash doing...whatever, but the Nemesis sees an opportunity to inflict pain scot-free, and makes its own head-spike thing, and is smart enough to stop every time Lash does. It's not perfect, but I could see how it might work.
