Actually, I think Locke got all the statues Charley stashed. I recall seeing them set up four deep on the shelf.

And I think "Henry" hit one of Locke's weak points when he wanted to know why Jack was making decisions without asking Locke. I think Locke believes that he (meaning himself, Locke) is best equipped to lead the group, but he lacks the charisma of Jack. I think the writers might play with this a little. After all, we almost had an open fight between Locke and Jack when Sawyer got Locke to empty the armory without telling Jack.

Jack also has a sinister side. He can't stand it when someone disagrees with him. When they went after Michael, it seemed like Jack was trying, deliberately, to tick off Locke and Sawyer. And when Jack attacks, he goes after his opponent's integrity, always implying that their motives are less pure than his own.

As Hurley said to Jack, "Ya know that bedside manner thing all doctors are supposed to have? Well, your's sucks."

But, back to Locke. Did anyone think it odd when he started teaching Walt how to throw great big bowie knives? Or when he taught Michael how to shoot that rifle? You can't tell me that it did not occur to him that Michael only wanted to learn to shoot so he could take a gun and go after Walt.
