Lara Raith killed Malcolm Dresden

Well I believe that Lara didn't even know she did it... at least not yet. So anything other than the murder itself doesn't matter. Pure Revenge killing on behalf of Lord Raith

Lara was never stupid. Afraid of her father yes but stupid no. She knew Margaret and if she suddenly got an order to kill someone she would gather information.

Thomas can do some magic but it is limited.

Thomas also had a pretty good level wizard for a mother.....  and I would assume most Council women would not hook up with a Whamp. The Whamps know OF magic, but use it? Maybe the Hunger dampens magical ability too - yes, Thomas may have some.. but who are his relatives? His mom was good, his brother is VERY good, and old Grandpa..... top of the heap.

Harry is in the orphanage for four years between his father's death and Justin's adoption. It feels off to me that Justin would kill Malcolm and then chill out for four years until Harry develops his talent.

Maybe simply to make sure Harry DOES manifest a talent? I  don't think it was a 100% certainty. And if it was 100%... I should think the Council would be keeping CLOSE tabs on its members, especially the females with ability - like Margaret.

morriswalters:
Timing issue.  You plan for the possibility that Harry will manifest but you don't know when. So you kick out all of his emotional support(kill Malcolm) and feed him to the meat grinder and wait. If he manifests you have him and he's in a frame of mind to take what Justin can offer, and if he doesn't, then  he stays with the state. Cheap and convenient and safe. You can picture Nicodemus doing something of a similar nature for his acolytes.
