Sherrie here:
 
According to legend, Myrddin (or Merlin) was begotten upon a nun by the  
Prince of Darkness - thus only half-human.  (Though I rather like Mary  Stewart's 
twist on that legend, myself...)   The nun was the daughter  of one of the 
local kings in Dyfedd (part of Wales) - thus giving us a  half-blood prince.
 
If Harry's going to actually meet Merlin - well, I'm not so sure how that'd  
go over with me.  I suppose it would depend on how she handles it.  A  
portrait?  Could live with that.  Great Merlin's Ghost?  Yeah,  that too.  But Merlin 
freed from his crystal cave?  Uh - I'd find that  a little too much, 
methinketh.
