Does anyone think Harry isn’t the original Merlin?

Yes; Luccio apparently recognized the phenomenon well.
I'm working with that idea as provisionally the correct explanation.
But... we should recall that Luccio was (iirc) under Peabody's influence at the time, and so it's possible Peabody implanted some memories/explanations to feed misinformation to Harry. I think it's VERY possible that the Black Council has paid enough attention to the island & the Warden role to have a very clear idea what to expect. Having a ready explanation that side-tracks Harry might have been something Peabody had planned in advance.

I don't think her answer in this case was influenced by Peabody's ink simply because her answer was straight forward and didn't affect Harry's future behavior in any way significant.. She simply told Harry that he had the wizard's version of deja vu, and Harry accepted that. She could have said that it meant he had a future close connection with the island, however she didn't elaborate.

Given the vast power available to the Warden of the Well (undoubtedly known to the BC) I think it very possible that Peabody would have had her downplay the importance / significance, just so that Harry would put it lower on his own priority-list for figuring-out.

That's possible, but was Harry even on Peabody's radar at that point? I doubt it, now it might be that Harry got lucky because he rarely went to headquarters, had few if any run ins with Peabody, and never signed anything or was in a position to sign anything using Peabody's ink until Turncoat.

Harry -- as a notorious maybe-warlock -- was undoubtedly already on Peabody's radar.
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.
