Remember, Harry has already beaten Lara's "going all out."
Escaping the Raith Deeps at the end, ragged and exhausted and out of fuel... he told her, "Kiss me" and used that to refuel his magic, to survive multiple C4 charges simul-detonating in an enclosed space, sufficient to launch a WizWhamp canonball thousands of feet away.
He intentionally set her up, triggered her Hunger in a way that she'd have no reason to hold back, at the end of a battle where she used a LOT of whamp-energy to fight... so she was ravenously Hungry. He took that, and used it for his own ends.
If either of them needs the advantage of a sucker-punch, it's Lara!

Yes, because absolutely nothing can get in the way of them consummating their relationship..... Well, maybe not.

No, this is wrong. Harry still had immunity. He didn't beat Lara's hunger then, he just got lucky.

Even consummating their relationship doesn't mean they'll have protection because it has to be "true love." Both Harry and Murphy have enough issues about relationships individually that even if they are romantic and engaging in the marital act, it could take them quite a while, if ever, to hit "true love."

It isn't immunity -- it's that genuine Love is caustic/toxic to Whamps. They can still whammy someone, make them feel intense arousal & brain-blistering passion. They just cannot feed on it.
Earlier in the battle -- with Lara not even "aiming" her whammy, just being herself in battle -- Harry had to remind himself NOT to go worship at her feet. Not immune.
When he got Lara to kiss him, he felt it, that supernaturally-erotic thrill and urge. Even though he knew the bombs were about to blow, he experienced a deep urge to just f__k her then and there, until he died. Not at all immune.
But very, very disciplined.
He made Lara into his fuel. If it ever comes to her attention in just that way of framing it, she is likely to either decide to kill him... or else never, ever again risk coming into direct opposition to him.
