Mab's word play about the White Court
Avernite:
I also think Mab wants a 'handle' on Lara, even disregarding any nefarious desires in Lara's direction. Lara is a rising star, after decades of the WCV's being a passive player. Mab wants to be in on the ground before they become a power that is too big to handle, and Harry's just the guy to keep them from going haywire (remember that other vampire court that got uppity around him?). And if Lara truly is fond of Harry, he also solidifies Mab's alliance.

Don't know if she feels obligated toward them. Remember Mab had Harry really screw over over Nick / Andriel while paying back a favor. Molly loves Harry and does not want him to be married to a WCV who will want to warp his mind and feed on him. It could also give Harry more protection with Lara backing him up as stated by others. I think Lara respects, likes, desires and fears Harry. Mab seems very fond of Harry and protective. I think she needs a starborn wizard WK in the upcoming war with the Outsiders. Mab might also want to help Lara against the next threat that the Outsiders manipulate to weaken factions that can oppose them.

Sure, but Mab and Titania seem to consider wyldfae a bit like the White Council considers humans: not strictly theirs, but they have a vested interest. So you can bargain with one wyldfae, or murder a couple, but when you go after them in job lots, Mab and Titania will take an interest.
morriswalters:
Harry settled for the Wyld Fae and I suspect Mab would consider it settled from her point of view. Why Lara did it might interest Mab more since it was more or lest a test to see what Mab how restrained Mab was at Arctis Tor at that point.

But who is the Za'Lord of his own army of wyldfae? Mab remarks in Summer Knight that it is unusual for anyone to be able to have any kind of control the Fae, even those considered the least like Toot and Company. Then in Battle Ground Harry freaks out members of the Senior Council because he does have his own effective little army.
