Quote #4
"Tame ones? Tiffany wondered, aloud. "But--"
Who could put a collar around the neck of a drome? Only someone who could dream as well as they could. (9.199-200)
The Queen sure has a lot of power over her subjects. The dromes are so hard to pin down, but somehow she managed to capture them and keep them as pets. How diabolical.
Quote #5
"Still behind you," said the Queen. "This is my world, child. You'll never be as fast as me, or as clever as me. Why are you trying to take my boy away?" (10.161)
Because Fairyland is the Queen's world, she's very powerful in it. She can manipulate spaces, dreams, and creatures as she wishes—which makes her quite dangerous.
Quote #6
And then, after a few moments, he pushed the law book aside and said: "Perhaps we should do this a different way."
And there was a different way, involving people paying a little more attention to Miss Robinson. It wasn't perfect, and not everyone was happy, but it worked. (10.204-205)
Power doesn't always have to be wielded to punish people.

He doesn't sentence her to die or go to prison; instead he tries to get everyone to be nicer to her.
