It is rather ironic that Merlin spends the series protecting the oppressors.

At no point did Arthur make any meaningful change to the laws against magic - I don't count his promise to treat the Druids with respect, given that Merlin found it believeable that a Druid couldn't openly seek help for a sick child - and, quite frankly, even if Guinevere made some kind of attempt to build bridges with the magical community, I wouldn't blame any of them for telling her where she could go, and that it was too little, too late.

One thing I would have absolutely loved to see would have been that, while some of the characters with magic started out believing in "Emrys" as some kind of saviour, they began to lose faith in him once it became clear that he was intent on protecting the Pendragon men, especially after Arthur became King, and came to see him as a traitor. It didn't make sense that, even after people became aware that "Emrys" was in Camelot, they would continue to have faith in him when it was painfully clear that he was prioritising the welfare of the guy persecuting them over doing anything to help them.
