Yeah, but that was a very special case, where a family line curse designed to get revenge on Eb's family backfired when Harry turned the tables. Also several things had to happen before he could pull it off. 1] All Red Court Vamps are related. 2] Susan had to turn at the right moment to become the youngest member of the RCV family. 3] Harry had to be willing to cut her throat at the right moment to set the curse in motion.. So while I agree that numbers can be deceptive, I also think we have to be careful not to compare apples to oranges..
Rasins:
Mira,
I totally agree that circumstances were special and need to be taken into account. However, my point is that just because there aren't all that many Wizards, as compared to the general population, as we've seen, numbers aren't everything. For all we know, the same curse MIGHT be able to be used against the outsiders. They might all be related. We really don't know.
All that being said, Harry can shape and change reality itself, with the proper preparation and motivation. That's whats so cool about being a wizard.

Minor nitpick, but worth keeping in mind: MAGIC can shape and change reality itself, but that was in the context of beings more like Mab; there are still hard caps on what a even mortal like Harry is capable of, and how much energy it takes.

But usually they tell the truth, fairly brutally. 'The battle is not always to the strong, and the race is not always to the swift, but that is the way to bet.'
One Wizard took out the entire Red Court because conditions for that were precisely just right, Harry trapped the Court in their own death trap.
Same deal with the Black Court. The 30 combined Elders of the old Black Court were potent enough to be a serious threat to Mab, but as JB pointed out, a 30-to-1 battle is a very different thing than a one million-to-30 battle. A whole different sort of thing.
Rasins:
My point is that if the WC knew about the battle at the outer gates, and were given a chance to prepare for the WC to take over said guardianship, they could totally do it.
Heck, if nothing else, they might just be able to come up with a way to seal the gates.
