Does anyone think Harry isn’t the original Merlin?

As soon as Harry began refusing to sign Peabody's forms (which is to say, immediately-following Dead Beat, when Harry became a Warden), he likely became a major target for Peabody to figure out & try to get some other leverage on.

That was the point of Luccio allowing herself, plus her now young woman body, to become Harry's girlfriend though it violated ethics. On the other hand it doesn't mean that what she explained to Harry was a lie, or would be of much use to Peabody.
Bridger:
I don't think Harry is Merlin. That's not where he ends up IMHO. My prediction is that he ends up as some kind of immortal power that people can call on for aid.

No, you're right: that's not at all an automatic thing.
I'm just pointing out that:
(a) Peabody was in control of Luccio at that point, so anything she said/did is potentially suspect/false
(b) Jim loves to drop minor details that become critically-important later (have we ever seen anything else regarding wizards' supposed "foresight"?)
(c) The "Black Council" and/or Peabody undoubtedly knew much more about the island than Harry, and plausibly would want him misdirected on the matter.

Lord… I hope not.

I don't think the WC has the mojo / know-how to create a Mantle.
I could believe they were using the role of "the Merlin" to explore doing so, however...
