I think they refer to him as Harrison Wells for a couple of reasons: 1. They knew him as Harrison Wells even though it turned out he was really someone else-- they just got accustomed to calling him Dr. Wells. 2. If they are ever discussing him around people who didn't know about the whole time travel thing, they won't have people asking who the hell Eobard Thawne was. I think they indicated already that Barry will trust the "real" E2 Wells because he's not Eobard.

Back to some of my questions-- I re-watched episode 16 and the reporter guy mentioned following Harrison Wells around. I wonder if he ever suspected that any of the team could have been The Flash if he was spying. I also wonder where he saw him going and what was in his file. Why did he say he was a sociopath? Yeah, I know there were some suspicious things-- like being the last one to see Stagg-- but I still wonder about what it was that made the reporter think he was up to no good. I'm also hoping that maybe in a future episode they might shed a bit more light on what Eobard was trying to get back to. In one of the deleted scenes Joe got him to admit that he had loved ones he desperately wanted to see-- but there seems to be no indication that he was married or had children (unless he was lying about not being a parent-- which is possible since he lied about a lot of things). There was just something about the way he said something about having to choose between loved ones being one of the hardest things-- it made me wonder if he had personal experience with that and had been forced to make a decision between loved ones himself.
