There are two ways of dealing with conflicting conceptions of wizardry: if they're close enough to YW's concept, you fudge it, and say it's wizardry under Oath, just it works a little differently in that universe. Or you take in the Tale of the Five rules, and say that there's Wizardry, which is YW-style stuff/wreaking, and then there's Sorcery, which is just doing magic. Or you say the whole place is Overshadowed, and all wizardry has been distorted by the Lone Power. :D
When I play with Dresden Files, I go with Option Two, and separate the wizardry stuff Harry does from Oath wizardry. The White Council is not entirely aware that there's another whole organization of wizardry operating right under their noses, although some of the White Council wizards are also under Oath (Rashid the Gatekeeper and Luccio, I'm thinking particularly) and some of the others are aware without being sworn (Eb, for example.)
I'm not really sure who else is a wizard, though, except Hendricks, definitely. And probably Malcolm Dresden. And the Knights of the Cross, almost always (Murphy is going to take her Oath really, really late, if she ever gets around to it.) And Charity Carpenter used to be but gave up her Wizardry at the same time she gave up her wizardry, but probably at least a couple of her kids are.
Harry, on the other hand, is mostly mixing it up directly with the Powers-that-be, who are all assholes in this universe. :P I think possibly he was meant to be under Oath, but on their Ordeal, he sacrificed his Wizardry so that Elaine could live and keep hers. So the Powers were forced to give him access to Soulfire directly instead. Possibly his wizardry is locked away somewhere in the mess that is the inside of his head, and he'll regain it completely at the apropos moment.
