What harmonica do you play if guitar chords are E9 Dm7 Am7 and B7?

That depends on the type or style of music you're playing...most music requires you to play harp in the same key as the song itself, while blues music has you play harp in "4ths". In other words, if the song is in the key of "E", then the harp you use would be in the key of "A".

Harmonica selection depends on the ability of the player, the type of harmonic available to him and what he feels will be the easiest to play for the given song. Looking at the chords listed I am guessing that the music is in the key of Dm. The chords listed fit a 6-2-5-1 progression. Dm can be played on a C major diatonic harmonica. The player would be playing in Third Position. With root notes at the 1, 4 and 8 draw (inhale) holes. The player could play a Lee Oskar Dm harmonica as well and might find that easier. He would play that harmonica in second position with roots at 2 draw, 3, 6 and 9 blow. . He could also select a G harmonica and play that in second position as well but he will be required to bend a few notes.

Chord selection for the harmonica player is somewhat limited. There are only two or three tri-tone chords available on a given diatonic harmonica (unless one is among the most advanced players); The tonic and the dominant. Most chords will be arpeggiated.
