Who should Harry marry
StrayDog:
@Doughnut Despot
Point 1. - Not the breakdown she would be concerned with. Winter's image to the Accorded Nations because of the Lara/Harry pantomime, YES. Hence the marriage. She couldn't care less about Harry's feelings towards Murphy death.
Point 2. - Even Harry has poo poo this, Mab does NOT think this way.
Point 3. - Mab is always planning and none of it is going to involve caring about anybody's feelings, least of all two of her vassals who should get over it and do their jobs. A Harry/Lara pairing is indeed strong in more that "a bodyguard for Harry" way. BTW - A bodyguard for her bodyguard? Mab? Probably not.
Point 4. - Molly said that Sarissa showed Mab Frozen and it seems very unlikely that a political marriage (the norm in Mab's day) came from a Disney movie. Also remember Mab's feelings towards Disney, I'm more amazed that Mab actually watched the movie in the first place.

Between Harry throwing up a shield (before Eb could) and sweeping Mab behind him in a protected position and then summing some 250,000 wild Fae (something almost never heard of) the leaders of which are all decked out in shiny Fae plate, banging their chest plates, ringing like little bells. She couldn't have orchestrated the Council throwing Harry out any better. She wants a wedge driven between Harry and this potential support group as much as possible. The Council has far dirtier hands in Harry's life then he knows about which is why Mab made the comment to Eb. She's not POed at the Council, she just scored several points against them.

Agreed, though I might add, Eb (while working for the WC) actually does have Harry's well being in mind. He just also is working in WC bs. Mab is not the boss Harry should have to work for, it's just the only one he can work with because he knows where she stands.

Does he or is he just covering his own backside

I think Eb is conflicted by a lot of things, his sense of guilt about his daughter and Harry is his grandson, verses the Council's goals that he has been part of for a couple centuries or so.
He has benefited also from angles the Council has maneuvered before. Yes, there is no doubt now
that the Blackstaff is Mother Winter's walking stick, her silhouette appeared transposed on Eb when he went full out with it. How much you want to be that the Council was behind it's theft in the first place? They wanted the Eye, if Harry had just come forward and handed it to them, he'd still be a member I think.
I don't think Harry needs to marry, he has a daughter, a dog, and a cat, he isn't ever going to be lonely.
