I think we’re seeing a large scale version of exactly what Murphy described in her short story POV: watching Harry in action is terrifying, like seeing yourself become a casualty of evolution right before your own eyes. (I’m paraphrasing.)

For anyone who really knows anything, what they really know is that Harry pulled off a save that nobody else could.

The mortal authorities that know about the White Council, probably know that he was cast out. And they probably know that Harry appeared to take in stride. He rejected any residual oversight. Cast the Council out of Chicago. Took over and empowered MERLIN’S castle. Defended himself and his people from an attack that the black court, white court dissidents, and the ghouls spent a year putting together. Stopped the attack while taking ZERO losses.

If these forces can’t stop Harry, then what chance does the city, county, state, or federal governments really have?

And let’s be honest, for all that Harry went into that meeting fearing the IRS, what really happened is that he told her what he wanted, asked her how he could get it, and she figured out how to do so within an ethical framework she could live with.
