It happened as a side-effect of the WK banner, but something about Harry made it possible (very few WK's can produce a Banner).
We don't yet know what that "something about Harry" was, however.

According to Mab, "very few Knights are strong enough." Harry's strength made him capable of forming the Banner, I doubt Slate would have been able to.

Yes, but what kind of strength?
Magical brawn? That's credible, as the foundation of a magical "Banner."
Strength of will? Also credible, as the basis of leadership; and a Nietzschean "will to power" is very winter-flavored.
Both needed? Also credible. And, of course, we know Harry's unusually strong with both.
Something else, something more? Given how little we understand about "Banners" (other than the big green irradiated kind), it's entirely-probable there's some ingredient missing from our recipe (tho not likely Gamma radiation).
Conspiracy Theorist:
Strength of character, the ability to inspire others to be all they can be such as he did with butters, Molly and Toot.

Too much kindness and empathy there.
Maybe that'd be part of a Banner raised by the Summer Knight; but not Winter.
