although maybe the causation is in the other direction

You mean the causation is from wish-fulfillment -> thoughts and plans and nigh-magical abilities, making it a mite Mary-Sue-ish? :P Though, to be fair, tempered with "but it was all for nothing, because everyone I loved died" at regular intervals..

I mean the causation might have been from Kvothe to Harry, although Eliezer said in another comment that this isn't the case.
