Just before the wedding an event; or series of events, created by (fill in the blank bad guy), push Harry and Lara to their limits. They both end up selflessly risking their lives for each other and both somehow survive. After this, Lara's plan succeeds and Harry is no longer protected by Murphy's love, but on their wedding night she is still burned when touching Harry because Harry and Lara truly love each other.
It's exactly the kind of thing Jim would do. Harry remains sexually frustrated. Lara can't afford to let anyone in the White Court know that she can't feed on Harry. Harry's closest friends, allies and enemies; plus the White Council, will be absolutely convinced that Harry is completely under Lara's control. On top of that, to protect Lara from a potential White Court revolt, Harry would play along that Lara controls him; at least while other White Court vamps are around ...

That is terrible. And you're right, it is the kind of thing Jim would do to Harry!
But...

I think this is correct. Lara is too accepting of her monstrosity, Harry is still fighting too much against monsters.
But, turnabout again... we know Lara does have really good elements in her -- love of family, personal honor, etc. I suspect she wistfully wishes she weren't a monster; I think she enjoys vicariously that Thomas experiences True Love, and has found a way to feed without murdering; I think she admires Harry's Fighting the Good Fight choices. She just thinks they are hopelessly naive. She thinks that the only way they even survive is because she is in charge of the Whamps, with her "soft power" policies and protection of them.
IF it turned out that Harry could show her a way to operate at highest whamp levels of personal power/magic/energy and at top-tier of Whamp politics (yet still following the moral path that Thomas and Harry forged)... she might be made a genuine "good guy(gal)" instead of being just an "enemy of my enemy."
It would kind of echo the Harry-redeems-Lash story-arc, however, and I don't know Jim would do that.

I'm also pretty sure Jim isn't going to suddenly give Harry an incredible overload of hot sex with multiple partners. That... isn't quite Jim's M.O. when dealing with Harry!

Harry Dresden, destroyer of all three Western vampire courts (only the Jade remains).

Do we have any WoJ that Dresden gets to eliminate all 3 Courts of vamp, or end all Hunger? Or is that just WAGish fantheory? We know how much he hates the Blampires, and if he still has access to Kemmler's Word he might even be able to do something about that...
I've seen the theory that he might get access to Raith-Senior's magical library, which is apparently Something Special; that might give him insight into a Whamp-wide weakness.
Also, as a minor issue: WOJ is there are actually seven Vampire Courts (Ramp/Whamp/Blamp, Jade + 3 more afaik un-named (and miniscule in scope/power)).
LostInTime:
Jim has said no more surprise kids of Harry. But the expectation of this marriage is a planned child. So, is Harry going to have a Whamp child? And how much more will it break Eb's heart to have a whamp grandchild and a whamp great-grandchild?

Oh I hope not, and I hope this whole "marriage" idea goes the way of the Carrier Pigeon. There are enough loose ends already and why dilute the story further with this? Eb is already upset about Thomas, so what is the point of making him more upset if we have no clue as to why? It distracts further from what is supposed to be the main story line.
Oh and one more thing, though I get that they aren't blood related, but since Lara is the sister of Thomas, so in effect Harry is being asked to marry his sister..
morriswalters:
First, a baby doesn't seem to be the purpose. When Mab turns down Harry's suggestion the she marry Lara, Mab doesn't cite the inability to produce a child as a reason, rather she says choices she made as a mortal made the match incompatible. She then says this was what the Knight was designed for.
