Perhaps you can answer the question I asked Tony -- Is Old Harry a nickname for Satan or the Devil? Simple question requiring only a "yes" or "no" with a good Webster's Dictionary in front of your eyes.

No; as I do not have a dictionary with me, I went to three different online dictionaries: Merriam-Webster, dictionary.com, and dictionary.cambridge.org. I got results for 'harry' - as in "to harry the enemy" and also "Tom, Dick and/or Harry". Nothing referenced to the Devil. As four or five other people have already told you.
