Chauncy & Goodman Grey both agree she had become someone pretty bad.
But then she changed. Given that Chauncy's testimony was that she recanted her evil ways, it looks like a black eye for Hell. It's not a lie that benefits him or Hell, that I can see; so I suspect he was telling the truth (more or less) as a strategic move, trying to sucker Harry in (I am guessing that Grey had few (or no) interactions with "reformed" Margaret).

I guess I missed something. Did Chauncy actually comment on Margaret or just offer additional information? And Grey?

Chauncy did, he said they were getting a place ready for her when things changed, she changed, and they didn't get her after all.

--- Quote from: Fool Moon ---Chauncy regarded me without expression or emotion. “Many in the underworld were . . . familiar with her, Harry Blackstone Dresden, though under a different name. Her coming was awaited with great anticipation, but the Dark Prince lost her, in the end.”
“What do you mean? What are you talking about?”
Chauncy’s eyes gleamed with avarice. “Didn’t you know about your mother’s past, Mr. Dresden?

--- Quote ---Grey’s eyes narrowed and changed back to mostly human brown again. He was silent for a moment, and then said, “You didn’t choose to be the son of Margaret LeFay. You didn’t choose the legacy she left you with her blood. And she was a piece of work, kid. I knew her.”

You have quite a bit if you choose to run it down. You can eliminate Rashid from your calculations given his age, it may have been that he ran with her in the time before she was what she became. Goodman Grey seems to have known her after that point.
She was able to arrange a dinner whose known diners where a Red Court Nobel, the White Court King, the Blackstaff and herself. She could get them to set down and discuss some type of scheme. Unless this is a throw away this is where Harry as Starborn came in to the conversation.
When Grey comments, consider what he is saying when he makes the comparison between his father and Margaret.
EBRIEN:
Thanks, Morris. It's funny...like many of you, I'm sure I've read and listened to the novels multiple times, but I think much gets mushed together over time.
I appreciate you taking the time to add some clarity with the quotes. Thanks!

I have to point out, though, Chauncy could have been EXPECTING her to damned.... "She's on the way!" - as many have said about HARRY himself - plenty would have been willing to see the warlock chopped.... The Dark Prince couldn't quite set the hook.
...and "piece of work" does not mean damned. Maybe Grey thought she was a Grade A witch. Hated her. Does not damn here either.
Heck, it does not mean she was NOT headed there. But there seems to be almost infinite forgiveness available for the truly penitent - didn't Michael even say if it was sincere, they would take NICODEMUS back?
