I have wondered if Daniel might have ties to the Watchers. After all, he's in charge of the SGC linguistics department, right? And there must be some serious overlap in the people they try to recruit, both organizations needing people good at both the academic side of research/ancient languages and survival/infiltration/observation.
And realistically speaking, within certain circles immortals would have to be something of an open secret: you know they're out there, and you may have a suspicion regarding a few individuals, but you know better than to say anything to anyone.
So I can see Daniel realizing who Methos is and deciding that it's not his business to tell the Watchers anything. Methos realizes this and cultivates the friendship.
