What is Lara's problem? [PT Spoilers!]
Dina:
Again, she chose to stay with Thomas, not chatting. She trusted Harry, that is why after what happened she feels so mad. She feels betrayed.

I am not sure Lara is as personally/magically powerful as her political position suggests. To some extent that's true of the White Court overall, but more so in Lara's case. She hit Lord Raith when he was greatly weakened -- and a few years later, WN wiped out much of the leadership of the other White Court Houses.
I don't think Lara was the strongest WCV supernaturally, at least before WN -- and even now, Thomas (when uninjured and feeding) might be at least as strong.
On the other hand, even the "backwash" of Lara's full-power emotion-blast at the end of BR is pretty overwhelming. But Harry's never been hit by an equivalent blast from Thomas or a top-end Skavis or Malvora (except Vitto -- who was stronger, but Outsider-boosted so not comparable), so we can't compare.
EDIT: forgot about Vitto's attack

Yes, but she was there when the whole escape etc was planned. Thomas was still under wraps, that was the time to ask questions and make sure there was no misunderstanding..
Dina:
I don't know if at that moment the plan was to go to the island.
TrueMonk:
Topping Thomas off and taking him to a place where he can be kept alive an not located is a great plan. Then there is an emp and they have to skip the topping off.
It is not out of character for any wizard not to explain how exactly they are going to do the magic stuff and Harry has always been good at keeping that vague.
I think Lara is really really really far from being papa wraith. She can beat him when he has been starved for 30? years. Imagine her or Thomas going without feeding at all for just one year. As I remember Papa wraith was immune to magic and could rip the life from someone with a kiss.
