I'd be surprised if they don't.
I'm thinking that Harry's lack of arrest after Ghost Story is evidence of involvement of Government officials being in the know.
He was a suspect in the terrorist bombing of a building in the middle of one of the largest cities in the US. He was implicated in the burning down of his own residence, presumable to hide evidence of his involvement in the bombing.
And this wasn't the first time he's been looked at by the FBI.

Sure. Sort of. I would guess its more evidence cleared him in the 2 ish years he was gone(counting Demonreach,, Physical Therapy, and being dead. It's not like he came back straight away. Everything from Chamges to Skin Game he basically didn't exist.

Don't you think that the "paperwork" that the Gatekeeper started would have triggered some alerts if anyone tried to bring Harry Dresden back?
And 2 years is not beyond any Statute of Limitations on something like a Terrorist Attack.
Granted, in those 2 years, they'd have found out the connections to the red court's corporate connections. But since all of the officers of those corporations died, I'd bet Harry would still be on the "want to question" list.

That's only if the Council's method would be to actually (legally) bring him back from the dead, as opposed to simply setting him up with a new paper Identity as all wizards would need to do from time to time. It would get him past any lingering legal questions as well as hiding him from the infamous Larry Fowler.
On the other hand, getting basically /any/ law enforcement agency to say the word "Witness Protection" in his general direction would make a lot of official curiosity go away. It would explain away his proximity to "terrorist activities" as well as his Death&Rebirth, all the while giving him the implication that he was supporting The Good Guys so Be Nice and dont ask him Question about our ongoing investigation. All it would take is the Council having one good contact with InterPol or some such.

As to the first paragraph, I don't see that happening. Rashid indicated the "raising from the dead" not a new identity. Though I can see a new identity down the road. Granted it's an assumption, but I didn't get the impression that Harry wasn't going to be Harry going forward.
As to the second, I can TOTALLY see that. Only instead of Intpol, the Librarians. Favors exchanged between the council and the LoC could work this way.
