I still like the idea that the seven vampire courts are from the seven continents.
* Red Court - North America
* White Court - Europe
* Jade Court - Asia
* Black Court - Possibly Africa via Ancient Egypt and Sekhmet
* Yara-ma-yha-who? - Australia
* Asema? - South America
* White Walker? :P - Antarctica

The impression I get of the Black Court is their origin is Eastern Europe, of the vamps of the Dresdenverse we've met so far they seem to fit the classic image of the undead as described in
Dracula, which was based on even more ancient tales. The Red Court as well, since they do seem to become bat like after they are turned.
It's the White Court with their Hunger Demon and the feeding upon emotions that runs against type. What also seems to set them apart from the other vamps is they are born not made.. In other words you cannot be turned into White Court vamp if fed upon, nor I think brought back to life as one if you are fed upon until death. Their origins seem totally alien, going back to the feeling Harry got from Lord Raith when he tried to kill him back in Blood Rites, I wonder if their origin is the Outside?
Has Jim ever described how the members of the Jade Court act or what they feed upon?

Here's the WOJ on two of the others.
"The Malaysian version of the vampire is like some enormous hair mosquito that attacks infants in their coffins, and is a sort of spiritual hit man for hostile gods, delivering death and disease at their instruction."
"Africa has vampires, though they are often identified with snakes, "
Seventh is impossible to find, myth among myths.

There might also be vampire types that don't have Courts. I could see feral-type creatures not having the numbers, organization, or mindset for such things.

Leanansidhe was originally fairly vampiric muse. Makes artist go crazy and feeds on their blood.
Redcap as well in the OG stories.
Ghouls could be considered somewhat vampiric.

Recent WOJ they feed on Breath.
Just that their extreme isolationist in the Yangtze Valley River. They're not sure whether this "Chin" thing is gonna work out letter alone 'China'.
