I agree, plus it's values she has to have when Harry isn't around. Here is a question, what is
the age of consent for bargaining with the Fae? Now Harry was sixteen when he made his misguided
deal with Lea... However even the Fae must have some rule otherwise they'd go around and make bargains with four year olds..

Whatever Jim wants but there also was no guardian for Harry at that point in time so nobody else could negotiate for him.

Very true, but that is my point, we know there are some rules the Fae have to abide by. It is
my guess that Harry was either of age or Lea was an exception to the rule because she was his
appointed godmother... Being who she is and what she must have known from his mother that Harry was a star born, she simply took advantage of him.
Here is a wild theory, secure your tin hat now.... Harry ultimately gets out of the Winter Knight gig because he was underage when he made his bargain with Lea. That made it illegal under Fae Law, yet she chose to ignore the fact as well as Mab because she wanted Harry so badly as her Knight. Molly finds out about it as she prepares to become the Queen of Winter and frees Harry from his obligation..

I do not think she can ignore fae law.
Age of consent used to be much lower than it is now and the Sidhe are old style, really old style.

I think you can leave age of consent out of it. Mab uses conscript labor. It would appear that she has no moral or legal qualms about labor law. And Maeve bargained for Harry's firstborn. She even was going to supply a surrogate.
