Christmas Eve and Peace Talks theory (spoilers)

I reread Christmas Eve and Harry, when encountered with the challenges of putting together the bike for Maggie, notes to himself and/or Mounse that a Wizard of the White Council would not be defeated by such an obstacle.

What he said was putting a child's bike together "should be no match for the intellect of a member of the White Council." Which speaks more to his frustration I think, rather than him no longer being a member of the Council.

This is curious to me...being on the White Council. Harry's on it. A member. But we believe he's gonna be booted off it. Cowl has WC-level power--Harry speaks to this in DB or one of the later books.

Actually I doubt that that will happen, if it does I think it will only be for a short while. After the Titian gets done, there might not be many left to have a White Council.
Elaine hid her talent, she never was a member to begin with. Molly never made full wizard status. Mort also hid his talent from the Council. I believe the Council takes a very dim view of strong wizards not being members, not good for the health.

My point exactly. Given Christmas Eve, I do not expect Harry to lose his status as a member of the White Council.

The only way to throw them out is either saying he is not a wizard, they tried that and it would be rather absurd to try it now, or saying he is not human anymore. No reason for that either.
They could declare him warlock for some reason but then they have to hunt and kill him. That would result in a different Christmas’s.
Apart from that it makes no sense to throw him out because that is giving up their influence with nothing in return and I don’t think it is even legally possible for them.

It might not make a ton of sense but power politics doesn't have to make sense. It's also the plot introduced in chapter 3 of Peace Talks - Harry potentially losing his status as a member of the White Council.

It almost always makes sense in some way. In this case it is a prelude before killing him.
