Would it make more sense if you think of Harry as a white knight in tarnished armor looking to redeem himself for past mistakes? Putting himself in harm's way because no one else can or will do it?
Yeah, I suppose that does make more sense. And it's not that I think he should make a different choice, just that I think I would. Or at least that I would be wondering where my sanity was. I'm sure I'll find out more about it as I get deeper in to the series.
Oh, my mistake. I hadn't realized you hadn't read the rest of the series yet. The good news is that I haven't given away any spoilers. The bad news is that Butcher's treatment of Harry and the rest of them doesn't really improve. They get knocked around a lot. But I still found it remarkably compelling storytelling, even as I was cringing at the thought of what they were going through.
It turns out wizards have hard heads.
I think Butcher established in the first book that Harry is extremely stubborn.
Well, Harry is quite stubborn. I just can't imagine taking that kind of abuse and (having solved the case) thinking, "Alright, what's the next case?"

Oh, no problem.
Yeah, I started reading the series a while back, but small children interrupted my progress. So, I've started reading them again recently.
