The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Chicago, Sanctuary City?
Conspiracy Theorist:
The fear for the White Council is that they take their best shot...and miss. What they know about Harry is a nightmare, and what they don’t know worries them even more.
What if Harry were to give the Little Folk the order “cut the throat of every and any wizard of the White Council that you can find, whenever and wherever you can find them” the losses would quickly mount in the hundreds. Of course Harry would never give that order, BUT they could imagine themselves in Harry’s position giving that Order. Or he released the Titan with the Eye under the order “destroy the White Council and their Edinburgh stronghold in their entirety”. Or did both at the same time.
Harry could render the White Council extinct if he so wished, it is now within his known power. Of the White Council are going to pick on other wizards to make an example of them, other wizards couldn’t take them on single handed.

The "divided loyalties with Winter" angle isn't going to carry much traction with Rashid, that's for sure.
Of course, you don't really need a powerhouse to cap Harry. You'd just need someone who can veil well enough he wouldn't see it coming to wait outside his door and shoot him in the head. Carlos could get that done if he thought it was genuinely right, although I'm not sure he's that far gone.
Langtry could also contract with a supernatural mercenary like Kincaid or Grey - I'm not sure either of them would take the job, but there are probably a few others similarly dangerous. If Langtry would stoop to dealing with him, Shagnasty could probably still take Harry on the mainland.

Yeah the Council can 100% deal with Harry at any time, that's not the issue, the issue is that
A) It's bad press to do that after the guy just bound a god and saved a large portion of Chicago.
B) The Harry they're worried about is not the Harry that is. Remember that scene on Demonreach, when he realised what the Council saw when looking at him? Take that, throw in "Army of Pixies" "Horde of Demons/Gods in reserve" "Political ties to two other Magical Nations" and "Believed to have at least 2 Magical Nuke Equivalents".
So instead they kicked him out in the hopes that someone else will do their work for them.

Yeah, none of it seems thought through all that much, unless they want to go after him and take him
down like they did Kemmler. However they suspended that sentence. Why? Did they finally get the connection between the Blackstaff and Harry? Just weird, including the trumped up charges for doing so.. Because he killed some Turtlenecks with magic? Um couldn't that same charge be extended to Eb, Listens to Wind, and Christos, as well as Carlos and the surviving Wardens? I go along with what Mab said about them tossing out the wolf they are afraid of.. But predicts that Harry is the wolf they are going to need.

I suspect, like Changes, it isn't actually about Harry. He's a convenient tool for the adversary/Adversary to use against Eb. Remember, Eb was harping about them using someone close to Harry in Pease Talks. And, they did. But, now they're using someone close to Eb in order to put him in a tough spot. What Eb's side of things look like, or the larger ramifications of the entire situation are... I'm not sure. But, that's the impression I got.
