This. Wizards can infiltrate the nonmagical world, the nonmagical world can't really infiltrate the Magical world. Plus wizards can do a ton of really crazy shit like teleport at will, turn invisible, read peoples minds or control them, erase their memories, and find that one file they need from some guys filing cabinet in seconds with a single spell, all sorts of neat toys. You cannot beat wizards when it comes to espionage. Wizards also have all sorts of nasty shit they can unleash if they get desperate, like Dementors, who by Word of God are invisible to muggles, invincible to everything but like one or two spells, literally eat happy thoughts, and can turn you into a soulless husk in like 20 seconds if they get close enough. They're also pretty damn skilled at hiding their structures from muggles, seeing how they have the entrance to one of their shopping districts in a busy section of London, where anyone could potentially walk in off the street.
On the other hand, most wizards do badly underestimate muggles, and would likely get their asses kicked in a straight fight. That said, if you're a Death Eater fighting an armed muggle in a fair fight, you are doing it so wrong it isn't even funny. Muggles also outnumber wizards something like 1000 to 1 or more. Plus they have technology, which is their version of "magic", which while it lacks some of the more outlandish effects of magic, is still potent.
That said, barring some crazed lunatics like Voldemort and his followers, most wizards are perfectly happy living their lives hidden in the shadows, and would elect to continue to do so given a choice.

Yes Captcha, I also forgot that wizards can use the fearsome alaugs, a species of magical predators native to the british isles. |
