Because it's a massively strong and old fetch. We have already some exemples of anti-magic: in Summer Knight, in Heorot. The main reason I believe the Scarecrow to have Outsider power is that I don't understand why Mab kidnapped Molly. I was sure it was to punish the vampires, but then the WOJ came...
Thork:
Hrm, here's an idea:
What if Mab sent the Fetches to home in on Molly's magic -- precisely in order to make Harry *focus* on Molly's black magic, so that he could intervene early, before it sent her (and, with her, him, because he'd probably die defending her) off the deep end into severe warlockry and the sharp side of Morgan's chopper.
Mab's goal would just be "make Harry take Winter Knight" all along, but the Black Council is screwing that up by trying to seduce Molly to the dark side (for all the above reasons), which would make Harry implode because he's Harry. So Mab (with foreknowledge) moves to really ATTRACT Harry's attention to Molly's dark practice by sending Fetches at the victims and then snatching Molly so that she can try to trade her for the Winter Knight job.
Think about what would have happened if the fetches hadn't attacked. Harry would have left the convention and might not have ever investigated those goings-on enough to realize Molly was turning dark, not until she'd gone much much farther down the left hand path. The fetches don't make sense as a distraction, but they do make sense as a "hey, look at me!"

I don't believe Mab is interested in a knight who took the job through blackmail. If that was the case there was no need to kidnapp Molly: she coud have tortured Harry until he accepts the job. Or kidnapped Murphy in Summer Knight.

Oh, she's blackmailing Harry in one sense or another from the moment she forces that letter opener through his hand. In this scenario, that particular blackmail would just have been an opportunity to do business, as it were, like Lea picking up Amorrachius.

Yes. But she's just making sure Harry pays his debt. Not kidnapping someone to force him to take more. I feel that if Mab was in the business of kidnapping people to get new debt, the WC woud try to stop her. Now you may say that she's too strong. In fact I'm sure that an alliance between the WC and Summer would be devastating for Winter.
