Mab thought she was doing the right thing

In Dead Beat Mab knew that Lea had attempted to resist her power, but may not have known that the athame had been used to corrupt Lea.  By the start of Proven Guilty she is aware that both Lea and Maeve are infected.  And in Cold Days she tells Harry how both were infected.

We get a better look at how JB sees the infection working in Cold Days when he confronts Cat Sith on the barge at the island.  In the passage Harry makes Cat Sith aware of his, I'll call it a rider.  Sith struggles but loses and his personality is destroyed.  From this I infer that Cat Sith did not know he was infected

Aurora didn't know either. It has things in commen with mind magic. To be undetectable it must be subtle, in line with the existing personality. This means that it can not directly control actions. It can do so of course but then everything is less subtle and the meddling is more clear.

If the host becomes aware of it it can fight the infection and/or run for help. Unless you are crazy to begin with then you can ally with it.

I always thought it was a statement of power on Mab's part, she over came Lea's challenge.  Lea wanted and accepted it because she thought it would help her defeat Mab for power..  I have always wondered if Lea wasn't infected before she accepted the knife...  It could be that we and Mab got it all wrong, Lea may have infected the knife and not the other way around.
