White Council Top Members
TrueMonk:
If he was in top 30-40 before in terms of raw power I would think that just becoming winter knight and the associated training would put him in in the top or at the top, perhaps depending on the time of year (battleground was the winter knight mantle at its weakest.
I think saying he is in top 30-40 in his age group would make the statement almost meaningless. Harry must have been at the top of his age group back then. He is obviously not the most skilled wizard, so to be able to do more than other wizards, especially those of his own age, he must have more power to draw on.
Con:
I would put Harry as Top 10 to be honest. Senior Council makes 7 Klaus the Toymaker 8th then Harry. Of the ones we know of that is. It's possible Jim could pull ot a fresh newbie. There's also Cowl to consider. Marcone Namshiel as well.
Harry could duel the Blackstaff admittedly neither was going for the kill but it was more then training sparring.

Is Klaus still alive? I know Jim mentioned him, but it was during WW2 wasn't it? He might not be around anymore.
I'm not sure if Harry was speaking about in raw power, or in capabilities/skill. When it comes to raw power I'd put him in the top 10, maybe top 5. Skill level? Hmmmm I'm going to say maybe top 20 or 30. When you combine his raw power with his skill level I'm going to say he's maybe top 15 in a fight.

I think Jim touched on this before and said something like power isn't just about what you can do in a duel. I thought he also said Ancient Mai isn't very good at combat.
I look at it kind of like a warrior vs a tactician. A brilliant tactician can come up with ideas for battle that the warrior never would consider, but in a fight the warrior would stomp the tactician.

Yeah Ebenezar says Klaus turned down the Senior Council spot in Turn Coat to make room for Cristos.
If Carlos, Bill, Yoshimo and Chandler were all considered Elite Wardens enough to be the Senior Councils bodyguards, and Harry outranks them all that alone puts him in the top 10.
At the very least of the Wizards we know. Sure their may be some Battle Hardened Loner on the outskirts... oh wait that's Harry.
Admittedly I am talking exclusively Combat here.
I'm willing to admit overall power there are wizards with centuries of knowledge and experience.
Mira:
It depends on their area of expertise, we've seen what the Merlin can do, Eb, Listens to Wind, and Lord only knows what Rashid can do if pressed.. Of all of them I think Rashid get's the prize because you don't get to be a general at the Outer Gates if you are a butterfly.. Considering the deference he usually gets when he does show up to Council meetings, he is the strongest, the most dangerous, and everyone else knows it. Actually out of all the wizards on the Senior Council, he and Harry have the most in common.
