I wonder if Jacob only manifests in ways influenced by other people. For instance, he looks like Locke, but is that how he appears to Ben? I would think not, since Ben doesn't show any sign of that being the case. Maybe Jacob was the one who appeared to Ben as his mom, and perhaps he also was the energy that Jack saw as his dad. It looked like there was some sort of binding circle around the cabin, perhaps to contain Jacob's energy.
It looked like the Others were starting to mistrust Ben and gravitate more toward Locke. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.
