And just who is this subconscious? Yeah, I know, supposedly Harry but still in Fool Moon I think it was, when he was described, he was like Harry, still at the same time nothing like him at all. One could say he was Harry's dark side, indeed he at least is more decisive.

I don't believe in reincarnation, but if it were true then the feeling Harry experienced might be a case of Harry/Merlin feeling the intellectus of Merlin's bond with the island rather than a case of precognition.

That works for me, for my part there is just too many connections for it all to be a string of coincidences. Oh and another maybe not so important point, the pentacle necklaces. I get the
symbol of magic etc., but as I said only four characters that we know of have been mentioned as wearing one. All four are closely related, something else says it might be a family thing. Thomas wears one, he isn't a wizard, though he has shown a bit of talent, i.e. he did do a tracking spell that apparently Harry had taught him. However having said that, he is neither a wizard nor does he hold magic in terms of reverence, in the way that Harry does. It was mentioned in Blood Rites as one of the things that he and Harry wore in common pointing to a relationship. Also interesting it wasn't until Peace Talks that Harry saw fit to mention that Eb also wears a pentacle. Which brings us back to the formation of the island, Merlin's use of the pentacle form is a huge deal in it's magical creation.. Common? Maybe, but how often have you heard any spell cast by anyone where it was said to be in a pentacle form outside of when Merlin created the island? At least I cannot remember any..

Harry doesn't have to be Merlin in order for Harry to be Merlin though. GK has been referred to as the last version of Harry. Rashid has the same veins of character as Merlin and a few others. I'd think this is indicative of Harry being the most recent version of a Merlin archetype (though much broader and deeper than just that)

That still doesn't exclude a family connection.
