Ok I think you may be missing a vital point here.
For god knows how long, the Elites have been given hope byt he Prophets that salvation awaits them from the Halos, and that by doing the Prophets' will they will enter intot he divine beyound and have eternal happiness etc...
That lovely plane of glass keeping them from reality has just been shattered, all the elites, grutn and hunters with the Arbiter at the end of H2 know the truth about the rings now. They know the Prophets lied to them, and of course they know question everything that they have been taught by them. Amoung other things, that humanity was the enemy, and they stood in the way of their great journey.
Now what do you think the odds are that they are going towage war on us, given that they have no reason to fight us, and we are fighting the same enemy that they are. Oh, and also toss in the fact that they have been expelled formt he covienant and are considered enemies by them.
As for the Grunts and Hunters joining the Elites, well Grunts have always followed Elites and wouldn't do or be able to do otherwise, and the HUnters are practically enslaved to the covienant; to them it would be the perfect oppourtunity to turn against their ensalvers and get some revenge.
I'd say that there is a pretty high chance that the Elites are our friends, while it may not be offical or widespread yet, I assure you that besides ignorance, there is no reason why an human and an elite woudl kill eacher in battle.
