It's more accurate to say that he's more of a threat to Harry's life while Leah is more of a threat to Harry's free will... Leah isn't on his side anymore than Justin was. Harry's is a valuable commodity to her, that's it. I used to hope there would actually be something romantic between them or a friendship but have had to face reality.

There is. There even is between Lea and Molly. It is just that Lea’s nature places limitations on that she can not avoid and is not even aware of so she can never meet human expectations of friendship.
In ghost story she is as generous with her answers as she can be, not as she has to be. We have seen in Cold Case how Winter restricts Molly’s ability to help Carlos.
If you try friendship with a fae you have to be aware of that and Harry is only slowly discovering it. Lea literary can not give something for free.
But they are still individuals who want to help or destroy you. There is more going on between Harry and Toot than obligation by pizza but the pizza is necessary.
And if you don’t consider their nature you are not a good friend either.

Good points... Still I don't know if she holds genuine affection for Dresden or not. Part of the Sidhe's niche is being expert manipulators. Leah is a master.
For example when Leah used Dresden to get Excalibur... That was pure greed for power on her part. She didn't have to do that. She didn't care about Dresden in that moment. She cared about power.

Don't be too sure about that.
Technically Mab is on Harry's side as well, but I don't think anyone here will agree if I say she is not a threat to Harry. Lea is just a lesser version of Mab. Her idea of helping may be a threat in itself. Remember that in SK, Lea explain that making Harry his hound is a reasonable way to protect Harry from greater troubles.
The Leanansidhe is winter's second in command. Thinking that she is not a threat is never wise.

As Lea told Harry herself. That is a lesson he should learn.
