Mab thought she was doing the right thing

Like, that only works if you assume either A) Nemesis is thicker then reinforced concrete or B) Actively trying to fail at it's job.

Or Nemesis did not think Harry was a serious threat anyway.

Or C. Nemesis needs a certain Starborn to be alive for future plans.
Dresden was pretty confident that He Who Walks Before could have killed him in the past but felt he was being tested in some way. Cowl could have probably killed Harry but didn't. The Fallen Coin wanted Dresden specifically for some reason, and not another wizard. Mab see's him as an enemy, Titania is afraid of what he can do... Dresden is important in some way and it's reasonable to assume that Nemesis see's him the same way.

That creates an issue, a big one. Because we don't actually know the attack got beaten off. maybe they got in and got what they wanted and got out. But if so what did they leave with, (or destroy). Without that info we really don't know enough.

Didn't Harry and company find a winter army already in place when they launched their own attack? Maybe that's what beat them off.
Or maybe they wanted to free Lea before she was cured, and failed, because they needed Summer Fire, and they didn't have it handy.

Or the point was to remove Aurora and replace her with a less experienced Summer Lady. The question is what was the goal? To have a war between the Queens or to destroy the well? If Mab can plan for multiple paths to success, then one might assume that Nemesis could do so as well. So a failure in one leads to the other.
And why does there need to be something taken from Winter in the attack at Arctis Tor? If the ways could be made hazardous to the White Council, isn't that, in itself, sufficient reason? The Reds would have then had the advantage of safe travel, while the White Council would not.
Or it could be some other way entirely and I have been drinking my own Kool Aid. /shrug?

Well I think the problem might be that Mab placed a Nemesis infected agent within Winter's Wellspring. It is true that it helped cure Lea but it may also be true that it left a taint that might end up coming back to bite her.
I think it is something that can work both ways though. If Nemesis could somehow taint and get an advantage via Wellspring, there may be a back door way back to it via the Wellspring too.
