Winthrow is the catalyst that the fool was "meant" to have during the time period of the liveship books... So no, he is not one of the whites. He is, however a rather important person...
One reason Winthrow likely seeks out Kennit despite knowing the bad facts is that he's fairly young, and has the natural want for a father figure that shows the least bit care for him. To someone as young as he, rape does not have the same level of meaning it has to older people. Just think of trying to explain rape to a 6-year old... Yes, Winthrow is considerably older, but his previously cloistered life has made him effectively far younger than his years in worldly experience.
Kennit becomes the father Winthrow should have had in Kyle. It is hard to say whether Kennit truly cared, but Winthrow was useful.
