Which of course, begs the question: why did Lea agree to receive the Athame in Grave Peril? It almost seems as though Lea (and by extension, the Winter Court) was not aware that Morgana had been infected by Nemesis all those years ago.
On the other hand, Titania knew Nemesis' name. Maybe Morgana spent her time with Summer instead of Winter?

In PG Lea mentions:

Given our current understand, she may well be referencing Nemesis. It's not obvious from the text when she grew arrogant. Maybe she felt powerful enough during GP (e.g. because of her bargain with Starborn Harry, or because she was in possession of Ammorachius) to be able to accept the Athame without being corrupted?
Here's an interesting side-thought. In GP we have the interesting point that Lea burns Thomas when she kisses him (leading to all sorts of speculation as to who Lea might be in love with). Thing is, this happens before Lea acquires the Athame, and hence while she is still in possession of Ammorachius. Maybe the fact that she burned Thomas was a WG warning to Lea that she is dealing with items/powers than can corrupt her -- one that she ignored.
prince lotore:
As per my theory Lefay is a mask she has worn in the distant and more recent past. She just wanted her old knife back and thought she was stron enough to beat nemesis
madness:
I always sort of figured that they poisoned/corrupted the Athame just before giving it to Lea.
I guess that it always being infected is possible but I don't really see how you would get someone as 'in the know' as the Leanansidhe to take it in if it was known (historically) to be infected. Mab knew that Lea had the Athame right away and if knew that it was infected she surely would have done something about it immediately rather than waiting for Lea to realize that she was infected and asking for help, IMO.

That actually makes a lot of sense, and certainly explains what she meant there.
Mira:
According to Bulfinch's Mythology Morgan Le Fay was the fairy sister to King Authur, she was also known as Morgaine or Mogana. Morgana was known as an enchantress and identified with the Lady of the Lake in Orlando Furioso.
