Cowl only touched one thing, the Knife, while it may have been the vector that endangered the whole Winter Court with Nemesis... It is my theory that Lea was already infected.. Ask yourself what her motives were when Harry screwed up and Am fell into her hands? Was she looking to gain that Knife for her Queen, or to make herself more powerful? Why would she want to aid Bianca in the first place to unmake a Holy Sword since at that moment as far as we know the Winter Court didn't have an ax to grind with either the Red Court or the Holy Knights..

Both Mab and Lea herself after she was cured disagree.
Lea needed something of equal worth to the athame to exchange gifts with the red court and the sword was suitable. Otherwise she had to balance things in some other unpredictable way. As it turned out is was as she claimed a treacherous gift. She had been betrayed and she had to balance that out as she did in changes with Harry's help.
It would not have been a treacherous gift if she was already infected. It all makes it more likely that Cowl himself was infected.

I agree with you, however, to play devils advocate .... Unless the true treachery of the Athame hasn't been revealed yet.

Let's work backwards for a second: how did Cowl get the Athame in the first place? If it's an artifact with enough power that Lea was able to challenge Mab, how the crap did he manage to find it?

Cowl is senior council level and had a sidekick as strong as Harry. He can find an ancient relic if he spends a few decades looking for it.

--- Quote ---4) I wonder if the black council expected some other gift from Lea -- although the knights sword was probably welcomed... That they would get a return gift was clearly known.

--- Quote ---Since Bianca turned around and gave it to Mavra, I can only assume that they knew it was coming.

Why, that presumes way too much future knowledge. The easiest explanation is that they had something else in mind for Mavra. However, the sword was a much better gift on many levels so they just changed the plan. After all, Mavra is already working with black council and did not really need a super special pre-nemfected gift like the dragon and lea did.
