Yeah but Harry could choose which jobs he took. And he wouldn't have taken his first job with Mab if the council hadn't twisted his arm.
Enjorous:
He accepted the job from Mab before the meeting with the Council even took place.
Heretic:
If the comment refers to the events in SK, it was Winter who provided the access to the Ways. In SK, Summer specifically refused to offer help, saying, "Queen Titania does not now, nor will she ever choose sides in the disputes of mortal and anthorphage. She bids both Council and court alike to keep their war well away from the realms of Summer. We will remain neutral." (Ch 5, p 63 paperback) Mab offered to let the Council travel through her realm if one request (which all soon learned meant Harry's service as her Emissary) was fulfilled (p 75).
As of the end of Harry's meeting with Mab, Harry had stated he would think about her request, and retained the option to refuse. He didn't actually commit to taking on the task until the Gatekeeper made it his condition for voting in Harry's favor at the Council meeting.
Maybe the RPG text is referring to other help Summer provided, such as the battle against the Rampires mentioned in Proven Guilty? I'd think that was more than mild assistance, but understatement is an art.
Deadmanwalking:
Not precisely a typo, but on Page 52 of Our World, the Troll is statted with Superhuman Strength and Recovery (at -4 each), as well as Inhuman Toughness. I suspect that's intended to be Supernatural Strength and Recovery.
Also, on the very bottom of p. 109 of Our World, Harry and Bob's commentary overlaps and is otherwise somewhat confusing. Looks like a formatting error of some sort.

It was later on in the series where it was mentioned that Summer pledged their support for the WC but it was more a symbolic gesture then any actual support.
I would look it up myself but all of my books are scattered to the four winds right now.
