I think that's a bit of speculation based on her brief comments, no?
--- Quote --- “Nor would I,” Luccio said. “That could be a true nightmare. All that knowledge, without conscience to direct it. The necromancer Kemmler had such a spirit in his service, a sort of miniature version of the Archive. Nowhere near as powerful, but it had been studying and learning beside wizards for generations, and the things it was capable of were appalling.” She shook her head.
I took a sip of tea, because otherwise the gulp would have been suspicious. She was talking about Bob. And she was right about what Bob was capable of doing. When I’d unlocked the personality he’d taken on under some of his former owners, he’d nearly killed me.
“The Wardens destroyed it, of course,” she said.
No, they hadn’t. Justin DuMorne, former Warden, hadn’t destroyed the skull. He’d smuggled it from Kemmler’s lab and kept it in his own—until I’d burned him to death, and taken it from him in turn. “It was just too much power under too little restraint. And it’s entirely possible that the Archive could become a similar threat on a far larger scale. I know you care about the child, Harry. But you had to be warned. You might not be doing her any favors by acting like her friend.”

Come now, all of my speculation is well cultured and proper. It even sets the silverware correctly for dinner. 8)

A random thought about the idea of Elaine being infected. In White Night, after the fight in Thomas' boat where Harry turns the lake's surface to ice and survives being shot at with a machine gun, Thomas, Elaine, the other practitioners, and an unconcious Harry go to ground. Harry spends 8 hours unconscious, most of that time without Thomas around, and awakens to Elaine performing a spell on his head. She claims that it is Reiki, but it would seem to me to be the perfect opportunity for her to infect Harry.
It is worth pointing out as well that it is after this book that Harry's headaches begin.
Of course, on the other hand, even if Harry was knocked out, Lash was not, and I'm fairly certain she would have let Harry know if Elaine did try to infect him in his sleep.
On the gripping hand, Lash mentioned that she recognized Vittorio's possesion by an Outsider because she had felt such a presence before. Maybe she meant in Elaine?
