Could Dresden have been wrong about Thorned?

Maybe not. Maybe once the process of removing Nemesis has been started, it cannot be halted, or she risks Nemesis entering her mind.

I kinda doubt it, but it's possible. Mab's "cure" seems to be more like a mental wall of ice blocking Nemesis from entering whatever backdoor it made in Lea's mind.
As a different thought along those lines, perhaps Mab made a masterful counterstroke with Lea. If Nemesis has a finite amount of hosts it can bounce between, keeping Lea alive but unable to be controlled might deprive Nemesis of a host body it could otherwise have. Say the Arctis Tor attack was an assassination on Lea gone wrong. With Lea on ice, Mab should have been at the Outer Gates. Perfect time to make a ballsy move in her empty palace. Except, nope there she is. Time to leave as quickly as possible? Mab might have chased them, but they're not big enough fish to deserve her personal attention. Especially if it might have been a feint and more attackers would sneak in with Arctis Tor actually empty.
That kind of idea would have the right caliber of enemy to kill Lea (hence burn Arctis Tor) but not worry Mab.

certainly possible. Though I also wonder if, to trap part of it, you can't more or less "kill" it as far as that's possible, or use the connection to lock down every host/piece of Nemesis via Thaumaturgy. The kill part I wonder about because of what Nic said when Harry was telling him this, about it having a sense of self preservation. Preservation wouldn't be the right word if it wasn't under some real sort of threat.
Though, I'm sure she had to rub against Lea's consciousness to help her fight nemesis, so I do see that as a possibility.

Anduriel was making a comment about Harry keeping his mouth shut when talking about self preservation.

🤔 no he wasn't? He was discussing what happened with anduriel while harry gave him mad amounts of lip, that's not a self preservation instinct, that's harry. Harry's not an IT either so..
