Since Mab is allied with the Gatekeeper, she more than anyone other than the Gatekeeper, should be able to spot something like that.  So I consider it gospel that the infection occurred the way she suggested.

The torture of Lea may have been as much about finding out who else might have been infected as curing her. And this could be how Maeve is uncovered.  And Lea suggested in Changes that it isn't completely gone.

That was yet another reason for Mab to save Lea, her value as a source of information. How important that is was shown by the attack on arctic tor.

Bad Alias:
Lea is Mab's "trusted enemy." I can't remember which book this originates from, but Harry later says he can be Mab's trusted enemy, like Lea. Mab responds that she won't/can't ever trust Harry. Therefore, it is likely that Lea would try to supplant Mab if she thought she could.

I don't know if it is ever stated explicitly by anyone other than Harry, but it is stated that after Mab found out about Maeve's infection, her voice injured mortals. If this is the case, Mab didn't find out until after Dead Beat.

Lea was probably at the Battle of the Stone Table. Her absence would have been noticed and she did strongly imply that she was going to be there.

I think that she warned Harry away from the Stone Table, and thus becoming the Winter Knight, because she was obligated to as his spiritual director.

morriswalters:
What ever the nature of Lea's debt to Margaret, she has never been as forthcoming as she is in that passage. However that's my WAG and it isn't well supported. And I'm grasping at straws.

prince lotore:
I have always believed that the infection was giving them a soul.  It would explain how it allows the fey to go against their nature and why people like harry haven't been targeted. I know people think victor was infected but it looked to me like a power hungry guy who got easily corrupted.  why corrupt 4 FBI agents with wolf pelts when you could infect the entire bureau.  Why wouldn't lord wraith infect his son to get him to fall in line and give in to his demon and while he is at it get harry.

Too obvious....  It is kind of like what Madeline Albright  says how fascism take hold.. She likens it to plucking a chicken feather by feather.  Do it all at once, it gets noticed and stopped, but do it feather by feather, no one notices until it is too late and the chicken is naked..
