Merlin was a famous wizard even before J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter and made him a part of Hogwarts' history. Even in Harry Potter lore, he is recognized as probably the greatest wizard ever.

A member of King Arthur's court, records show that Salazar Slytherin may have been one of his teachers too. He was known to be great at charms, and he supported the rights of Muggles.

In fact, the whole point of his Order of Merlin was to make sure wizard and Muggles could coexist peacefully. Many Slytherins are still proud of Merlin's legacy, but other houses gloss over this fact.
