Lara Raith marriage consummation
Dina:
Of course it was JB plan all the time. I just think that he knew what he was doing, he intentionally put "wizard of the WC" in the original Christmas' Eve so not to spoil BG for us.

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.

You will feel desire, that is fine, but if the whampire can't touch you, I think he cannot feed of you. He cannot weaken you, or kill you.

Funny I never noticed that.. But would it have spoiled us that much? I mean I believe I've heard Harry refer to himself as Chicago's Wizard, at any rate it went right over my head... But then again a lot of things have of late.. ::)

I think that's more-or-less correct, yes.
No touching, no feeding (note however that Justine was able to burn a Whamp with just a touch of her hair).
On the other hand, it depends how you define "weaken." They don't have to steal your life-force away to be able to make you a "weaker" (less effective) opponent:
Crazed with lust isn't exactly the best frame of mind when you need to concentrate on the intricacies of a legal argument.
"Situational Awareness" can be critical in combat, and almost nonexistent when mostly all you're "aware" of is the Whamp
etc ...

I see a problem but it's hard to put the words on paper. I blush easily. If a hair can burn a vampire then how could Lara ever get pregnant? Sperm and egg would be like matter and antimatter. :-[

I daresay a great many "political" marriages aimed at creating an heir had no love involved.
So long as any partner of a Whamp wasn't in love -- or took care to "eliminate" the protection by having sex with someone else -- there's no problem (other than Whamp's inherent low fertility).
