Will Harry meet the real Maeve?

In that book, Harry is summoned into an alternate reality in which he made one decision differently, and as a result everything turned out completely different. One of the differences between our Harry's reality and this new Mirror Mirror reality could be that Harry's interactions with the fairies turned out completely different. Aurora and Maeve could still be alive and still be Winter Ladies. Harry may never have became the Winter Knight. Lilly and Fix might still be changelings. And Sarissa might still be trapped between Mab and Maeve. Anything is possible.

I doubt there will be any difference in Maeve, from a Nemfection perspective.
Jim has said that the decision Harry makes that makes the difference is at the end of GP. By then the party had already taken place and the Atheme that infected Leah, and then Maeve had already been passed on to them.

Do you have proof that a spirit or shade has been Nemesis infected? As Jim has said, Nemesis isn't some all powerful thing.

Jim said that Mab might even still have some soul left. I don't see why Maeve would be completely void of a soul.

Did I imply it was all powerful?
A spiritual infection is nothing new. Touching a denarian coin is enough to infect you and Lash did change Harry though not in the way intended.
Nemesis is also a spiritual infection that can change your nature, your spirit. It gives Maeve the ability to lie which she s against her nature. Her nature, her spirit was changed nu the infection. And that infection was carried nu an object of power.

Harry's choice may have changed the circumstances of Lea's infection, or otherwise hampered her ability to spread it. Lea may be infected, but that doesn't mean Maeve was.
And, I think, it's open to interpretation what "the end" of Grave Peril is from Jim's perspective. I'm still pushing the concept that it was Harry's choice to use Amoracchius dishonorably that was different, though, so I'm pretty biased.
