The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
There's something about Justine (PT and BG spoilers +WAG)
Mira:
If it is accurate, she could be off one way or another as far as to how far along she is.
Helga Ozark:
I don't think that there's anything special about incubus wamps that Papa Raith hates other than competition. In BR (I think), Thomas says that his father controls his daughters by feeding on them (which is icky) but he killed or arranged the deaths of his male offspring because "his tastes don't run that way". He doesn't control his sons by feeding on them so they are a potential threat to his power and can overthrow him.
I like the cupid angle. Maybe Maggie senior arranged something with Thomas the same way she arranged for Harry to be starborn.
Anyway..I definitely think we are being misdirected in some way. There are constant references to Harry's father, a stage magician and they are all about misdirection so there is something that's hidden in plain sight for us....whether that's Justine, her baby or something else.

The normal restrictions on mortals is different than for fairies. If we take your first sentence as correct, then the assumption isn't that there's no point to infecting mortals; it's that infecting mortals will allow them to act without the normal restriction. The question then becomes what is the normal restriction for mortals.
Conspiracy Theorist:
There isn’t one, it’s free will, though I suppose mortals could be used as disease vectors to get to a more powerful entity. A Nemfected Whampire, the closest monster to a human, would probably lose the True Love Protection restriction. Lara therefore isn’t Nemfected. With Wizards its probably losing the power lost on swearing on their power and breaking it, or being able to cross a threshold without losing their power Eb asks to enter Harry’s temporary apartment. It strikes me that the domestic bliss of Thomas Apartment, with Justine and a baby on the way mean’t that his apartment had a threshold, and a normal wizard couldn’t enter or push through a spell into the apartment without drastic power loss.
Suppose Thomas Apartment was being survielled by a wizard because it originally didn’t have a threshold, but one started forming when the baby was conceived? and a family came into being. That would reduce the surveillance a wizard could do and they would have to resort to more mundane methods. That may explain the lack of magical residue, and the need to attack the main Raith residence (no threshold) instead for information despite the heightened risk of being found out.

Thomas' apartment is his and Justine's home, ergo it has a threshold. That is some protection, against some invasions but not all, for that one needs wards. Thomas doesn't have that kind of skill and apparently he never asked Harry to put them on. However a threshold means nothing if whoever or whatever was invited in, that wouldn't leave any magical residue either.
