Morgan's Journal Revisited
Mira:
--- Quote ---
It's a test. Morgan soulgazed Harry and knows that his first-law violation (killing Justin) gave him a magical anger management problem. If Harry isn't careful about it, his anger problem will grow and he really will be a warlock. And Morgan means to be there when it happens, because he's seen what happens next and he'll blame himself for all the victims he couldn't save.

There is no evidence that Morgan ever soul gazed Harry. Eb soul gazed Harry, he says that in Blood Rites, he is also the one who spoke up for him at his trial, not unlike Harry did for Molly. Harry based his defense for the most part on his soul gaze, I imagine Eb did the same. If Morgan had soul gazed Harry and found what you say, I doubt that Harry would still have his head. In addition, lets not forget that a soul gaze goes both ways, if he had, then Harry would have understood Morgan better. By Morgan's own admission he was more paranoid than anything and may have wronged a good man, no, if Morgan had soul gazed Harry he wouldn't have pursued him like he did.
No, I don't think Morgan was underestimated.. He may gave been moral, but at the same time he wasn't all that clever. Morgan was never a thinker.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Morgan wasn’t an investigator, he was an enforcer, when he needed an investigator, he went to Harry.
TheCuriousFan:
Chasing down wardens was his main job so he has a fair amount of practice at investigations.
Conspiracy Theorist:
The mad Warlocks were hardly subtle, neither was Morgan.

Morgan was the one ultimately responsible for the Doom being revoked. At the end, he concluded Harry was no warlock but was stupidly reckless at times (which Harry would probably concede)

I think this is true, but isn't necessarily incompatible with Morgan being not-the-brightest.
Or, well, I think more accurately he wasn't good at thinking outside the box. Morgan wasn't dumb, but he was a straight-line A-to-B thinker... like most of the older wizards, it seems.
Even Luccio must have a bit of this problem, or something like the Paranet would have been set up decades ago, dealing with pixies etc. would be standard Warden protocol, etc.
And he still did ignore Harry's warning about the Summer/Winter issue in SK; I don't think that's explainable as just testing Harry.
