Is the White Council afraid of Harry Dresden?

<< < (6/8) > >>

Conspiracy Theorist:
It’s quite likely that Jim has written the character to allow the reader to draw their own conclusions about Carlos predicament.

However Carlos is supposed to be more polished socially than for example Harry, he is past 30 now, and yet does not seem to have developed a significant relationship with anyone. He is Roman Catholic by faith and upbringing which may account for this and still maintains contact with his family in LA, so his facade may be for their benefit.

It will be a waste if there isn’t some revelation about Carlos to explain this in the future.

What if the Senior Council has been trying to manipulate him via the series of threats they've posed toward him all these years...

I don't think the Senior Council is  at all  united in how the think about (and approach) Harry.

I suspect that there is at least 1 member who has a "manipulate Harry" agenda... which they sometimes work via their position on the Council, and sometime do it via other assets.

I suspect more than one member, actually -- I think there's a Black Council member (still, even after Peabody's unmasking) on the White Council, and I'm pretty sure the BC has a use-Harry agenda!  But I think there's likely at least one person pursuing their own personal agenda, that's at odds with both the B.C and the W.C.

It's entirely possible that *every* member of the White Council has their own personal agenda for Harry... because they're very-senior wizards (aka arrogant and self-confident to a very-nearly pathological degree).

Yes it is possible, I do think as a group they had an agenda for Harry, but their mistake was thinking
they could control him. 

Conspiracy Theorist:
Even Eb thought he could control Harry.

That worked out poorly. I wonder if Eb will try to reconcile with Harry in realisation that Harry WILL make his own decisions. We know that nothing at Christmas Eve had occurred, but Eb was badly injured and may still have been out of action.

The White Council though never seemed to address why they had no record of Justin taking on Harry as an apprentice. They merely seem to accept he was Justin’s apprentice.

Because they didn't have a record. They had Harry after the fact.  Morgan couldn't have known who took Harry unless he knew in advance who was suppose to. Is this not a valid interpretation? In the conversation in the parking garage Butcher has Martha Liberty tell Eb "You know what he was meant to be.", implying that they knew what Justin did and why he did it.

In the attack at the small store someone summoned the Walker.  The Walker was the test, but test was to see if Harry could fight back from the psychic attack. He didn't defeat the Walker he exploded the fuel tank. Butcher supports this in Peace talks during the fight in the parking garage.
