New Dresden Files podcast interview.
Arjan:
When Mab wanted Harry’s debt to Lea she did not just seize it or commanded her to hand it over, she made a deal. I do not think Mab can just walk into the castle and ask for the furniture. It probably would not even occur to her.

She said she "purchased" his obligations to Lea. Then Harry struck a bargain with Mab to do three favors. And yes, she does move the goal posts, whenever she has appeared and asked something of Harry, he thinks he is holding up his end of the bargain. For the first two it works, but he never can
quite finish off the last one, Mab keeps opening loop holes to keep him on the hook until eventually he becomes her Knight.

Mab did nothing like that. She was very straightforward. She just waited and Harry needed Mab before Mab needed Harry a third time. Why would she waste a favor just to get Harry of the hook?
She is immortal. She was not in a hurry to ask for that last favor and she assumed correctly that sooner or later Harry would need the power.
Yes she had all the cards but she was not moving goalposts. She was just making deals.

That depends on point of view, doesn't it? So from Harry's stand point, she was moving the goal posts, from her point of view, merely making deals.

How was she moving goal posts? Harry could have waited for her to ask the last favor and go for a darkhallow or Lasciel. He did not and that was a different deal nothing to do with the previous ones. The only one who played dirty was Harry with his suicide.
