How Harry would do the Dark Hallow in Changes wag

Assuming he or his mantle was in direct danger still seems to contradict all his statements and/or actions during the story.

You mean he should have seen what was going on and run away as far as he could if he was in danger?
Maybe, but I think it's possible that he didn't realize there was a Dark Hallow planned. It was super-secret knowledge from Kemmler. He might have just seen some Necromancers slugging it out with their usual zombie weapons.
ETA: The Wild Hunt didn't seem to attack the Necromancers and they didn't seem to fear it could happen. Necromancy could be antithetical to the power of the Wild Hunt, which is a primal urge to hunt for living beings.

No, as Ive explained I think he was not in direct danger, and his Power/Mantle was not in the equation of Power that was getting eaten. The spirits of the Hunt he called up were. He might have been subject to the vacuum fallout that was expected to happen after (along with Thomas and anything operating on Life Energy that had joined the Hunt), though I expect he could and did avoid that without too much trouble.
Besides, the Darkhallow was not a subtle, surprising, or quick thing; and if any fae can recognize and avoid a Trap it would be The Erlking.
Zaphodess:
Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree here. I really think the WoJ is quite clear in that the big E was on the menu. As far as the Necromancers were concerned. EK himself might have thought that he could do the same thing Cowl had planned, step in and eat it himself in the last minute. He was there and saw Sue after all.
Rasins:
If Harry had tried to do the DH in Changes, AT Chichen Itza, do you think the vacuum created would have ripped apart all of the Rampires there?
Cozarkian:
The Erlking doesn't have free will, so it doesn't matter how smart he is or whether he knew the darkhallow was happening. He was summoned to lead the hunt in Chicago and had no choice but to do so, even if it means his death.

Using the straw analogy, I think Harry could have absorbed the power from the human sacrifices and the Reds nearby would have died to fill the void.
