I'll just leave this here to see who clicks on it and ends up stuck in TVTropes the rest of the day:

You do not speak for me in that "we". I'd appreciate you not using language that sounded like you did.

Never do, since we do not think alike..
A naughty mouse:
Killing a non-human for backtalk against his rule against harming humans when he's around to do something about it seems pretty righteous to me. Brutal, certainly, but from a utilitarian perspective making a lethal example in front of the court of predators is probably going to save more mortal lives in the long run.
Given the audience, anything less than a lethal response to such a challenge would probably also have guaranteed Harry's death in reasonably short order. I think it was pretty well established that half measures don't cut it when it comes to establishing fitness to survive among the Winter court, with their attitudes towards power and violence.
raidem:
I'll give Harry the benefit of the doubt for one or a few killings of the sidhe that happen in this manner. But, if it occurs more often, I would say that then it becomes evidence that Harry is walking away from a Right Hand path.
