Yeah, it was Mavra, my bad. I think the actual quote you're referencing though is that Dracula "went to" the Black Court as a kind of teenage rebellion, though, he didn't "start" it -- the black court predates Dracula by a long while.

I'm pretty sure "Blood of the Dragon, that Old serpent," is a reference to Revelation 20:2 (KJV).
"And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,"
I can see a few possibilities here. There's also a large possibility of forshadowing on Jim Butcher's part.
1) Michael was speaking metaphoricaly and just calling Marva evil in a really cool way.
2) Michael is implying that Drakul is either a dragon or spawn of a dragon
3) Michael is implying that Drakul is either the Devil or spawn of the Devil
4) Michael is implying that Drakul is the spawn of the Devil and a dragon. (Run fast, run far, don't look back, and hope you're wearing dark brown pants. :) )

Ok, that's a damn good catch on your part -- whichever the resolution, I think it's a damn good question! I just sparked onto it because I noticed Bianca referencing the "Lords of Outer Night" a few paragraphs later, and obviously we didn't get them identified till Changes, so Michael's reference there seemed worth investigating. (From your post, my guess is #3, but it's a neat question whatever way!)
Ms Duck:
Frakul does mean dragon, but we havee canon that he and the black court are not related.
(being as his son joined them to get away from dad.)

How does a Dragon, a force of nature, have a kid? I mean, Shagnasty was neither male or female and his power level isn't anywhere near Ferro's or Mab's. Do these super-powerful beings get pregged in the traditional sense? Or do they just will an offspring into existence?
And as for Drakul's rebellious son who joined the Black Court....if Drakul is a dragon would that make his son, who I presume is Dracula, half-dragon half-blampire? That seems kinda scary.
