Thomas has a very-small magical talent; not nil, but definitely not "wizard" caliber. What Harry has called (in other contexts, describing mortals not whamps) a "minor talent" or a "have-not of the magical world."
I *think* there is WoJ on the [vamp X wizard] thing, stating that whamps aren't capable of White-Council levels of magic.

I seem to remember Thomas saying as he was attempting a tracking spell that Harry had taught him, that he has about the same amount of magical talent as most vanilla humans. That Harry had told him all humans have some talent, so doing the low level spell was possible. I think though not sure because magical circles may work differently, but another example would be Butters in Dead Beat, drawing the circle and sitting inside it for protection so he could keep drumming to keep Sue going.

That is because Thomas was lazy. His vampire talent was another road to power. I remember Jim said something about white court wizards about doing things with their hunger.

There is no evidence that Thomas is lazy.. Even if he were, talent is talent, Harry used to go on and on in the earlier books as to how lazy he is, yet he is a very powerful and dangerous wizard.

There was a woj somewhere about it. Thomas got his wizard talent from his mother but did not put the effort in it needed to develop it more.
