Actually I don't think he could, unless she found the tunnel that led to the prison itself. He could make everyone feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't do anything that would reveal what was really there. Hey even the Denarians didn't seem to know what was really on the island in Small Favor. Heck if Harry had fully understood what he had done and what power that gave him on the island, Shaggy wouldn't have been able to do squat. As it was, though Harry suddenly was aware of everything, until Alfred taught him he wasn't aware of his control.

This. Entirely this. Harry's just a pawn/excuse here in hardball politics by centuries-old wizards.
Carlos even told Harry -- "By unanimous vote, they have already given the Blackstaff the order to execute your death warrant, and suspended it. If you cross the line, they'll send him. And if he won't do it, he'll be charged with treason."
This is the Merlin's ultimate Sword of Damocles to hold over Eb's head -- passed by a "unanimous vote", while Eb and LtW were in the hospital and Rashid was at the Outer Gates.

I could totally see that, but that's about the only thing that sort of makes sense to me.

That was me.
Could also be about the Spear of Destiny, on reflection. And Harry didn't hide that he brought the Placard to Mac's.
The loa could have reported on all these things.

That was before Harry woke it up again.

He still couldn't act without orders. If he could, do you think he'd allow his new Warden to be in the kind of danger he was in when he fought Shaggy?
