Yeah, that's Harry's rep, not the White Council's. The White Council is almost certainly much more diplomatic than Harry is.

Exactly. Especially since we saw them with Arianna in Changes. Not sure that would have happened if the Wouncil was irritating them all.
Mr. Death:

Here's the thing, though -- Molly's the Winter Lady now. That puts her in charge of a chunk of Winter, and able to act officially representing Winter with the only real oversight being Mab.
Having her as a friend means you do have Winter as a friend.
Harry's situation is similar, if to a lesser extent. He has significant rank in both nations, meaning he's more than just Harry Dresden when acting in official capacity. It might not necessarily make them allies, but both sides are going to be a little more courteous and careful toward him to avoid risking pissing off Mab or the White Council in an official capacity.

When the RC war went sideways the council was not receiving help from other signatories; it was the Fellowship, etc. that was fighting with them - bitter enemies of the RC. Winter just allowed access to the Paths, buyer beware and it's up to you to avoid the nasties. No-one felt any urge to help the wizards.
Compare that to relationships like the UK & the US over the last 60 years, or even US/Saudi Arabia or the West African mutual defense alliance. The council had nothing and had to go cap in hand to the faerie courts for transport support when they realized they were losing. They were too cocky to cultivate alliances for future unforeseen conflicts and disliked enough that they couldn't drag anyone onto their side without great provocation from the RC. Even the Fomor could get some sort of tentative agreement with other signatories; the council didn't seem to be capable of that.
kazimmoinuddin:
Fomor are part Sihde, those that lost and were cast out. They are united in revenge, so eventually they will go after the faerie courts. Summer and winter must be aware of this, so even if they appear to side with them, they are expecting the back stab and preparing their own.
