I see where the confusion is now your speaking of geofreys merlin that he invented and not the actual person he was said to have mimiked for the basis of merlin.

Merlin,no matter if he was real or fiction
Remains the current standard image of
Wizards to the basic public,an old
Man with a funny hat and long white beard
Who lives in a cave,and works wonders with his wand
Harry Potter and all other Magick based fiction uses
Merlin powers and tricks as a base.
Merlin in many ways is the magicians version of Jesus
So many debates and thoughs about if he even lived
I personally have always enjoyed reading about him
