I can see Harry killing the three main vampire courts, the Black is up next Drakul saw to that.

I think it gets complicated as far as the White Court is concerned. The Hunger Demon is what it is, not unlike a tiger. Some of the Court members are evil, but others are not, but they are driven by their Hunger. I don't know how much we can draw on as far as Connie goes, she did feed on a Bigfoot and not a vanilla human, so the first feeding onto death may still hold true, or it could be a matter of education and learning self control.
Conspiracy Theorist:
My theory is that the Hunger is a perverted form of what the Whamps originally were, we will probably find out Drakul was responsible under one of his previous names for what they are now, that’s the source of the beef between the Blamps and the Whamps.
In killing Drakul it may not end the Black Court, it might forever change the White.

We know that Irwin was Connies first lover so we know she doesn't have a kill. We know that her Hunger is fully active and from the night of orgy it can absorb more lifeforce from Irwin than a vanilla human contains. What Connie doesn't have is the soul scarring from having killed her first lover, something Whamp parents have considered a necessary rite of passage.
What we don't know is if Jim has plans to do much with this info before Harry ends all Hunger. And whether that last will occur after having destroyed the Black Court or before, though I think after.
Harry Dresden, destroyer of all three Western vampire courts (only the Jade remains).

Inari had the Hunger when she was locked in the room with Dresden and she fed on him but just with beginning nibbles. Her Hunger never fully awakened when she with her porn star partner because she was in love and didn't feed to a kill.
We don't know if she's a normal human now or like Connie and has partial powers.
And it could be that the special thing about Connie is the pairing with Irwin. Maybe Connie is a normal Whamp just lucky enough to have a partner too powerful for her to kill with a feed who also recovers faster than her Hunger builds.
The Dresdenverse is all about power. Maybe if Harry gets a Mantle that gives him a big power up, he'll be able to handle Lara full-time. But I doubt that could happen before the BAT and then only if Jim decides to sail on that ship.

If I remember correctly Inari never fed on Harry at all, not even a nibble. The reason being Harry understood right away what was happening and he also had no interest of that kind in a young teenage girl nor fatal statutory rape.

If her Hunger Demon died, she is just a vanilla human, no powers.

Inari stopped with Harry because her lips were burned.
--- Quote ---Her eyes flashed pure and empty white, and her skin began to grow luminous and pearlescent. I tried to fumble some words out of my mouth, to tell her to stop. They didn't get past my tingling lips. ... Cold started spreading through me -- delicious, sweet cold that stole warmth and strength even as the pleasure began.
And then the damnedest thing happened.
Inari let out a panicked shriek and staggered back from me. [pp. 154-155 of Blood Rites
--- End quote ---
That reads like Inari's Hunger was awakened and it was beginning the feeding when the burn shocked Inari out of it.
Piecing the bits from Blood Rites and Bigfoot on Campus together I took it that the lack of knowledge of the Hunger means its first feeding is uncontrolled by the host (you can't control that which you don't know you have to control) and that first killing feed gives the demon a hold on the host it wouldn't otherwise have.
Because of Irwin, Connie has her Hunger awake and intact, but her soul isn't bound by it like those who killed their first lover. She remains an innocent in that way. Not sure what all the ramifications of that might be. She probably still doesn't know to exert control, or how to control the extent of the feeding. With Irwin she doesn't need to worry about it.
