ok people. after scrutinizing the commercial for next week's episode of lost, i think i have figured this out. but i feel like a genius form of hurley in a situation where nobody believes me, because everybody i have told thinks im off my rail. so
please hear me out.
but first, my sources. i will refer to any of the lost episodes, the podcast, and what the abc website says:

"Lockdown"
When the hatch suddenly takes on a life of its own, Locke is forced to enlist the help of an unlikely ally. Meanwhile, Ana Lucia, Sayid and Charlie go off into the jungle to find out the truth about Henry.
i noticed at the end of the commercial, somone says "what did you do?". at first i thought it was mr. friendly, but after a few times, i noticed the accent, and thought, "DESMOND!" based on that, i have developed this theory. desmond is an other. the hatch was the territory of the others, till they found out that locke and boone have found it. then they all left but desmond, so he could press the button, and had him cook up that story about the other guy who died. it perfectly explains two things: where he ran off to when he thought the comp was broken- the other dharma hatches, to tell the other others. it also explains why we heard him on the commercial. this brings in the second part of my theory. we heard him because he found out that locke had messed something up (i am agreeing with someone else here who said it was probably because he mistyped the code), causing the "lockedown", and he came over the intercom asking what he did, because it put the island in some sort of peril. you will notice that through much of that noise coming through the intercom was static, hinting communication, plus we know that the different hatches already can communicate. plus, we hear a sort of echo when we hear him ask it, as if it was echoing through the hatch.
next, i assume locke's "unlikely ally" is henry, because he is locked in there with him. you also hear henry's voice throughout the commercial. we see henry sticking his head into the air vent, and while i first thought that he was trying to escape, i realized that would be out of character, and that he was probably being boosted up by locke to try to escape together.
now i am still on the edge of weather henry is an other or not. lost can be very tricky. i am leaning towards him
not being an other, because, otherwise, in his explanation of his "would be" plan if he was an other, he would have said something like "when they find the balloon that my people had set up ahead of time, my people would take them", instead of him saying that there wouldn't be a balloon. there was no reason he wouldn't have told locke and jack that. instead, he says that there wouldn't be a balloon, and we saw in the preview that they do find a balloon. (with a smiley face on it).
now that is one hell of a theory!
