I think that my be a difference about why the Mantle hasn't changed Harry much. Also you could argue that since he isn't using it as much it isn't affecting him nearly as much either.

I am certain that during the 1000 years of Mab's reign as winter Queen, there have never been a wizard knight before. Bob would have known about such a thing if it happened during the last 1000 years. Before Mab's reign though, that is quite another story.
Having a knight who is also a wizard is kind of adventurous. With soulfire, Uriel and freaking Ancient demonreach in the picture, I am convinced this is uncharted territory even for the Queen of Air and darkness.
If we see it that way, Mab's cautious attitude in the way she handle Harry completely via coercion is quite understandable. Harry is a powerful and dangerous weapon in her hands, but powerful and dangerous weapon tends to backlash on to it's wielder if the wielder is not adept enough.

There seems to be a lot of strange co incidences. Harry is a wizard and winter knight. The winter court mans the outer gates, Harry as a star born has power over outsiders.
There is also the Blackstaff. A foci that allows a wizard to break the seven laws, which includes the one concerning outsiders. A foci believed to be the walking stick of mother winter, seeing as the winter knight mantle is a portion of the Queen power.
Demonreach a prison built to hold immortals and gods, the only place strong enough to potentially hold outsiders themselves. Some of the descriptions of inmates do seem similar to the description of outsiders. A source of dark energy, which the Blackstaff is tailor made to accept.

The Winter Court is in charge of protecting reality from the Outsiders, and Harry as it appears was fated, as a mortal, to take up that same responsibility...

"Fated" seem to be too strong a word. "Potential" is more apt to describe the situation.
Harry is an exceptional talent, but he is not yet fulfill his true potential. He is a resource worth cultivating. A good seedling. Many parties wanted to recruit him. Lara, Nicodemous, Uriel, and maybe even HWWB wanted Harry on their side. In the end, Mab is the one who get him.
In this regard, the White council, at least Langtry's faction of the council, is the idiots. The council fail to appreciate talent.

as for fea knight wizard in the past i bet original merlin is similar to harry worked as knight both as keeper of Excalibur and may be as winter or summer knight during the Arthur's reign thus harry might be tracking Merlin's steps in current time hell harry might be reincarnation of the Merlin it self with amnesia to keep himself from danger.
