The part where it mentions about Helgen being an exception of their 'hands-off' policy', what did the mean, exactly?

I can think of two things right off the bat:

- They had an ambush party waiting somewhere to give Ulfric to escape.

- They were responsible for Alduin's appearance in Skyrim.

Both scenarios, in my opinion, are valid. On the former, they are quite crafty buggers, on the latter, they dabble with magic and stuff. I must point out that I haven't delved deep on The Elder Scrolls mythos, so, If my scenarios run counter to the canons, then I can only apologize.
