Are there more wizards like Elaine?
Fcrate:
Exactly. Besides, wardens get to kill on suspicion.

That is for suspects without connections. Those are just killed resisting arrest.

It appears that except for a select few, Rashid, LtW, and perhaps a couple more, the Council as a whole wasn't aware of Eb's relationship to either Margaret or Harry, if they had I think perhaps it would have turned out differently for Harry.
My point though, in the first couple of books Harry has an idealistic idea about magic thanks to Eb... That carried over to his view of the Council and being a member of the Council even if they did tend to treat him like crap...

Yeah. He still has that view of magic, but his view of the Council hasn't really changed. They're important and necessary, but he feels like they're bureaucratic jerks who play politics instead of doing real work to help. That, by the way, also seems to match Eb's perspective relatively closely.
Also, I think his view of the Council was more negative because of Morgan's decade-long harassment. He didn't trust the Council, but he HATED the Wardens.

No, he didn't like Morgan's harassment etc., but he still stayed with the Council, how many times have you heard him say, "the Council can help?" If he really didn't believe in the Council do you think he would have encouraged Molly to turn herself in? Yeah, it was close and political, but in the end Harry and Molly carried the day. What chance would she have had had she decided to run, not just from getting the chop, but from becoming a full blown warlock?
