It's clear that Courtney takes great pride in her strategical move, but it's also very clear that she treasures Gwen's friendship (You Regatta be Kidding me, she said in a confessinoal that "she means it, really!"). It's very possible and likely that she doesn't regret making the list but she DOES regret hurting Gwen's feeling as a consequence of her actions. I don't know why it's so hard for people to understand that Courtney is only human and she's bound to make stupid mistakes such as assuming that everyone would go with her plan willingly, but on the other side of the coin, she's also human in that when she loves someone, she loves hard and often goes out of her way to protect and/or satisfy that person (such as willing to sue the show for Duncan's benefit in the Beth Ending of TDA, protecting Scott from an angry beaver, letting Gwen in, etc.)

Courtney does have character flaws and pride is a big factor in that. That doesn't imply that Courtney never once and never did value Gwen's friendship when she clearly does.
