This is one of the most asked questions on David Barrett's forum. If you search his forum you will see many inquiries on this topic.
Below is a link to his intro lessons where you can start off on a "C" harmonica.

You can probably do a few exercises in LOA with the "C harp. Harps are interchangeable however you will just be playing in a different key, so some stuff may sound a little different. The "C" harp is still good to have as it is used as the reference standard for music theory. However you will need to get an "A" harp if you plan to go through LOA and especially if you plan to submit material and work on earning the levels. Actually you will eventually need several more keys later (Low F, G, Bb, D) in addition to the "C" and "A". Most blues harmonica players have all these keys as a minimum.
We're all here to help out to answer questions if we can.
Happy harpin'
