How does she find herself in a situation where she has enough Fae connection to assume a Queen Mantle?
1) We don't know if she does/doesn't have fae roots. Molly was several generations distant and needed 'rehab' to make her into vessel.
2) She has been at Arctis Tor, been in NN, fought several Fae, killed them, killed Winter Lady, trains with Einherjar whose Lord has a Mask of a Fae King (Kringle), knows that Immortals can be killed on Halloween, knows that Molly was shaped into a vessel for Lady...

Also worth pointing out that close association with Winter is a big part of preparing an individual for a queen mantle. Per Cold Days:
--- Quote ---There was one other person there who had been spending time with a powerful fae.
Who had a relationship with one that was deeper and more significant than a casual or formal acquaintance.
Whose life had been methodically, deliberately, and covertly reshaped for the purpose.
Who had been extensively prepared by one of the Sidhe.
--- End quote ---
Harry is a part of Winter now. He has already spent a lot of time with Murphy and will presumably be spending a lot more in the near future (some of it pretty intimate). He has been training her and shaping her since they first met. Arguably, all that is left is some deliberate preparation by a Sidhe. That may happen in the past during the events that lead to the vacancy in the Winter Courts.

Who, other than Murphy, among Harry's crew has the strongest connections to Fae without being a Fae. My guess is Will the Apha since he almost married one.

Are we putting aside Molly as well? She is the Winter Lady and has a strong connection to Fae. Do Toot-Toot and Lacuna count? If not them, I would go with Thomas. Not only is he a son of Maggie La Fey, he also faced down Lea with Harry, took part in the raid on Arctis Tor, and was present on Demonreach in Cold Days.

Can a WCV become Fae? What do you think of the idea that every supernatural being: Fae, dragons, vampires, gods, werewolves, and Fomor are actually rooted in Outsiders that have been altered by our reality and diluted by time and generations? It is just a notion I have been toying with.

We know that Thomas could take up the Winter Knight Mantle because Mab said she would target him after Harry. That makes me think that he could take up any mantle associated with either winter or summer (Kringle for instance) regardless of whether becoming a Fae is an effect or not. I have no idea how the transformation to Fae would affect his demon. Would it disappear, remain unchanged, or morph into something else as well? Only Mr. Butcher would truly know.
I do like your theory that the supernatural community is somehow rooted in Outsiders. Maybe a segment of outsiders fled to our world in the very distant past to escape and set up the gate to keep the rest of the outsiders out. Over time they morphed into the beings we know now.
