If Glau was another cutout for who set Madrigal Raith up to take the fall for the Fetch attacks, and the Scarecrow took him out to silence him, then that implies that Mab was involved in that setup.

Only if the Scarecrow is actually working for Mab, which as I have stated, I see strong reason to doubt.

Someone directed Harry's wammy reversal to detect Molly from within his web on the Theater.

I'm unconvinced that takes conscious intervention. Harry structured his spell to bounce the phages back at their summoner (I get the impression from this and BR that that may be a standard White Council defensive practice) fetches don't have a summoner, but Molly's acts of black magic in warping the minds of Nelson and Rosie is set up as the initial hook for them, the fear that they first home in on, no ? I can see a generalised spell that's meant to hit "human who caused these beings to be here through magic" treating Molly as the closest thing these fetches have to a summoner and bouncing the phages back to her by default. Harry does seem to believe something like that to be the case, considering how he takes responsibility for her kidnap with Charity in the church.

he might well. My memory, contrary to rumour, is frequently imperfect.

Bob’s eyelights brightened even more. “Ooooooo, classic White Council doctrine. When the phages come through, you point them straight at the guy who summoned them. Give him a dose of his own medicine.”

Thank you.
That suggests, to my mind, that the enemy might well understand that well enough to use it against Harry; I like the idea of the conceptual judo involved in the strategy misfiring because Harry is wrong about the situation in ways the enemy anticipates, rather than the enemy hacking Harry's wards, because a) it's more elegant and b) I am not thinking offhand of anywhere else in the series where one wizard really hacks another's workings that way.
