I don't think so. The Dresdenverse's "Salic Law" (that magic tends to follow the maternal bloodline) suggests Harry is no more likely to sire a "magically powerful" child than anyone else is.
OTOH, wizards are hardly known for their advanced scientific studies, and their traditional lore (including the Salic Law) may have some validity, but still only be a part of the story. After all, WoJ says (iirc) that McCoy's wife was a plain-vanilla mortal, yet her daughter was Margaret Gwendolyn (LeFay) McCoy, a very strong wizard in her own right.

I don't think we know anything about the drives of a Whamp hunger, other than the Hunger itself.
But since they only seem to exist inside a human host, they don't need their own reproductive drive: they can just "piggyback" on humans' (rather profligate) drive. Given the impact Justine's news had on Thomas, I think we can take it that the desire for children is as strong in Whamps as humans (maybe stronger, since it seems that being a Whampire cuts fertility sharply, and thus can leave the drive with longing & frustration.)

Seems logical that you improve your chances with a magical parent. Also you might get a wizard vampire combination.

But was Lara's mother a wizard? Aside from Thomas, who of Lord Raith's children's mothers were wizards? What percent of the White Court for that matter? And wouldn't the same risks apply to Lara as any other vamp mom? Which if Thomas is to be believed from what he told Harry back in Peace Talks is considerable. Also Lara could very well be sterile if Thomas is to be believed.

Thomas father was a vampire and his mother a wizard. Thomas is both.

Thomas is no wizard. What I am talking about is the fetus Hunger eating it's host's body.
