Looking at breaking out of the conventional mold of fighters in the front row, wizards in the back row. Here are some alternatives:
Under the conventional rules, the best bet is probably a human wizard with a staff and bonuses to AC and to hp. (hp 6, AC 6, 1-6 damage) (Probably not realistic, this "warrior" will not last long)
Militant Wizards: Kit from Complete Wizard's that allows wielding weapons like battle axes and swords. So this kit would yield at best a 6 hp, AC 6 wizard wielding a long sword (d8 damage). A little better.
Saurials: Some saurials (a race of dinosaur-people from the Forgotten Realms. The most famous being Dragonbait, a Saurial paladin. His adventures are described in the Finder's Stone Trilogy) are able to get a low AC and others are able to get higher hp. It would be possible to have a 10 hp, AC 5, hornhead saurial wizard- capable of wielding a special staff that does 2-12 hp of damage. It is also possible to have a hp 6, AC 1 bladeback saurial (also wielding the staff for 2-12). Both of these take damage as size large creatures.
