I would also like to point out what I believe is the difference between Haskill and the CoC. I am thinking that Haskill was purely a mortal when he supposedly tried to become Sheogorath. We hear no mention of a god hero or demi-god known as Haskill in any lore, so I am confident that I am correct. Then we have Malacath who previously had been a god hero, Trinimac. A god hero like Trinimac most definitely successfully became a total, fully powered Daedric Prince forever more. Canonically, the Hero of Kvatch became the Divine Crusader, the successor of Pelanal Whitestrake a Shezarine, thus another god hero of Aedric origins somewhat similar to Trinimac. So...the CoC/HoK was a god hero (or "Divine Crusader") when he assumed the Mantle and Sphere of Sheogorath. Thus fully able to "grow to his station" as Jyggalag had speculated about. In Malacath we have the precedence. There was already a divine spark there. In manteling Sheogorath, the CoC's spark of divinity passed on from Lorkhan was able to grow in a vast garden. And yes, Jyggalag's word at the end of SI do make it pretty darn clear that the Grey March is utterly over forever more. That is my two cents anyway. At any rate, as pointed out above, Bethesda has confirmed that the CoC is now Sheogorath. And in Skyrim he seemed pretty darn sure that he himself was now a Daedric Prince.
