Lara Raith marriage consummation
Conspiracy Theorist:
Well they are denying him the title Wizard, they can hardly complain if he calls himself a Wizzard.

I'm pretty sure Harry being kicked out of the WC was always part of Jim's plan.
I just think Jim wasn't entirely certain when that was going to happen, and got clarity on this point between the original (Christmas-eve) release of "Christmas Eve" and the later, "official" publication.

So, honestly I'd find it so unlike Harry if he were to just fall in love with Lara in the next book and willingly pursue a relationship and be okay with the marriage (Murphy aside). It's just too soon IMO, it'd be rushed.
But I have to say the way Harry behaves in PT/BG stripped me of that confidence I had in Harry/the author's writing of him in regards to that relationship. Plus the treatment in general of Murphy in the context of this relationship too (Harry seems, for most of Peace Talks, to have taken a step back from where his mind was at the end of Skin Game -when he even drops the "love" word already- and in the moments when he's alone with Lara there's a lot of stuff going on there and not once one of his thoughts is "wait a second, I shouldn't be drooling over Lara because I also know the real deal and that is my current GF")...

The thing is, nothing can protect you from the Whamp mojo. Not True Love, not a magic circle, nothing.
When a Whamp turns on the whampery, you *will* feel desire.
True Love can protect you from the touch of a Whamp, that's all.
What Harry has is something else...
- the self-awareness that all manner of bodily urges can be experienced, without being acted-upon
- years of experience as a wizard, doing just that: setting aside the physical, using the emotional, all as fuel for his will and his magic
- superhuman -- possibly Starborn? (a WAG of mine) -- levels of sheer stubbornness
Harry knows the Whampery is inevitable, so he's not gonna go all self-doubt when his body reacts; all that means is that he's not dead.
But -- regarding a genuine relationship with Lara -- Harry also knows this is possible, because of Thomas & Justine.

It was telegraphed in Turn Coat when the Gatekeeper commented it wasn’t the time for Harry to stand up to the White Council.
I believe that time may be coming.
