I mean, when Ramirez told him about the voting, if I were in Harry's shoes I would have told them "that is bad. Because Mab always respects previous engagements. She won't ask me to betray the Council or to break the laws of magic, I am, after all, a Warden of the WC. But if I were not, I could be much more dangerous".
And after the battle...giving all that power to Mab without the restraining of a membership to the Council...is just dangerous. I don't get it.

This shouldn't be all that difficult to comprehend. The Council is corrupt and falling apart. As dangerous as Harry might be there are factions pulling in multiple directions. To do this they had to act when members of the Senior Council were sidelined to make it work. There are at least two cabals in motion. Jim is guiding us into a wizard civil war. Chicago is going to be the rally point for the rebellion.

I doubt even if he was allowed on the island that he'd go after Harry's new toys anyway. I think he has a good idea as to why Harry was allowed to get them. I was speaking of Carlos and Company, if Harry tells Alfred, "no admittance," they aren't getting on the island.

He doesn't need to tell Alfred anything. It's a demon supermax. To Alfred your guilty if you come around, he just hasn't killed you yet.

Alfred can be remarkably restrained. In cold days he could have taken more action against Maeve and he did not. Mab thanked him for it.
Bad Alias:
I don't really see the upside of pushing him out. I could see the Gatekeeper doing it because he thinks it's time for Harry to confront the Council.
Greywolf:
It could be because they’re trying to leverage the Blackstaff again. If Harry steps out of line they’ll order (re-order?) Eb to kill him, and if Eb refuses then the WC will exile or try to kill Eb, or something. Plus no future WC protection for Maggie when she eventually develops wizard powers. They’re not gonna be like “oh you’re Harry Dresden’s daughter? Well come right on in, we have doughnuts!”
Harry’s also been gaining reputational influence in the younger Wardens, and like every control-issues parent who has forbidden their teenager from seeing “that boy/girl ever again!”, they’re trying to cut Harry off from influencing the younger generation of wizards by painting him as a monster. Which, I mean, couldn’t possibly backfire.

I can see this as a reason.
