That actually makes a lot of sense, come to think of it.
I mean, my memory may be faulty as heck, but when was the time loli-Haruhi met "John Smith"?
Three years ago.
When did the IDSE observe the explosion of data, the time travellers observe the time-rift, and the ESPers realize their newborn existence?
Three years ago.
Now, let's come to the present. Specifically, let's go all the way to Volume 1. And to be more specific, let's go to Chapter 3, where Yuki explains her version of the whole story to Kyon for the first time;

"And that is you."

Hmmm.
Now, let's go on to Volume 4, and hear Mikuru's side of the story;

"We came to a conclusion that there exists a massive temporal fault line, but we don't know why it only appears at that specific time frame. It's only recently that we discovered the reason...sorry, I meant recently for the age that I came from."

"You don't believe me, do you?"
"No...right, so why are you telling me this?"
"Because you have been chosen by Suzumiya-san."
Asahina turned and faced me,
"I can't go into the details. But, if I've guessed correctly, you are a very important person to Suzumiya-san. There is a reason for everything that she does."

Hmmmmmmmm.
Finally, let's see what Itsuki has to say;

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Now, from the looks of it, it seems like for the past three years, Haruhi's powers hasn't exactly manifested itself very much in any way.....until recently. Or, to take Koizumi's words, "for the past few months". And when was the point of time Volume 1 takes place in?
Around several months after the start of the new semester for North High. In other words,
Haruhi's powers only exhibited increased activity when she met "John Smith" (Kyon) again.
...Yeeeeeeeeeeesh. And here I was thinking that Kyon was merely the catalyst for Haruhi's powers......so now we're looking at the possibility that Haruhi isn't unique after all, that there may be other girls around like her who can act as the focus lens for world-changing power.....and that
Kyon is actually the source of all that power?
In other words, Kyon NEEDS a special bond with special girls like Haruhi or Sasaki to activate his powers, huh?
Of course, this is just a theory of mine, but it makes a creepy kind of sense......gee, won't the Kyonists be jumping with glee at this one....
