If Harry was wrong, it could have been because he represented such a large minority and made for a better leverage to get Cristos in position.

I actually would go with situation 2. Lafortier was killed during the night. I can't see him finding out about the existence of a spy (especially one with such close association to the Senior Council) and waiting to tell someone about it and going to bed instead. My bet is that it was a combination of him being a "sort target" (as opposed to Eb for instance), the fact that his replacement was from the minority segment, and the fact that his killing would upset the biggest number of white council wizards and cause divisions due to underrepresentation.

So, Lafortier was the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think it was more of the bolded part. If Lafortier knew that Peabody was a spy, why would he not have "called the guards" immediately?

Because LaFortier was the Western wizard most popular with the non-Western wizards and was therefore an important diplomatic link that keeps the council whole.

I agree. It was a move to hopefully disrupt the council by making those groups in minority to feel unrepresented. Thus destabilizing the Wouncil.
