One thing you missed from your Wizard of Oz analogy is the wizard himself. Henry Gale is a fake name that he uses to put the Losties at ease with him, to make them think he is on their side. It's true that he took that name because it was the name of the guy he buried (I'm guessing the real ballon pilot---and, b/t/w, WHEN exactly did he crash there? It seems pretty recently by the shape of the balloon and basket!), but couldn't it also be true that he knew it is a name that evokes the Wizard of Oz story in our minds, even subconsciously? In reality he is not Henry Gale, kindly uncle of the heroine, at all he is the wizard. In one episode in Season 3 Lock even calls him the "man behind the curtain." Walt, in Season 2, says "they're not who they pretend to be."
