I feel like I'm trying to explain division to a third-grader... Let me outline it for you in bullet points.


 * The main story quests in Skyrim count as canon.
 * Two of those quests involve you treating the Thalmor as an enemy.
 * Therefore, ,canonically, the Thalmor are your enemy. No amount of roleplaying that you do is going to change canon. Period.
