I think it reflects incompetence on the part of the White Council. For a bunch of supposedly wise older wizards they elected to blind themselves to a lot of realities in favor of the status quo until it rises up and bites them in the ass.
Griffyn612:
I still think Margaret and her Dark Council (because it might be different than the Black Council) plotted to birth a Starborn, and Harry is the result. I think she backed out and ran, and when things got bad and she knew she was going to die, she reached out to Morgan to watch over Harry from a distance, since she didn't trust Eb. Then the rest was like we know it, until the Senior Council realized what they had upon Harry's eventual capture, and decided they wanted the Starborn for themselves.
But I could also see where the Senior Council decided to hide Harry from Morgan, if they knew Morgan has sworn to protect the child. Wizard promises are kept, and that would compromise his ability to be the brute they might need. So they cut him out and handed the operation over to DuMorne.

Which would show more incompetence, them having no clue that DuMorne had gone warlock.

I think Margaret went hunting for a de facto saint/incorruptible character of a man to father her child, and did *something* to guarantee Harry inheriting his father's nature. That it was too late to change the plan, or she took advantage of the original plan, but then deliberately made Harry ungovernable.
It's not every man that can resist a Fallen. Harry seems to have that of his father. The magical focus is on his mother- the powerful, dangerous, wild Margaret Le Fay. He's got that too. But the key ingredient in Harry-stew is the great souled man who sired him.

What is striking is how few actually know the extent of Harry's will or that he did something no human has ever been able to do, resist the shadow of one of the Fallen. What is more, change it and have it sacrifice itself for him. Only Uriel really knew, it took a long time for Michael to believe it possible let alone that Harry was successful doing it. If the Council knew that much, perhaps they'd be less afraid that Harry had gone all monster on them.
