Eh, I thought he was a/the original Gravemind all throughout reading the book, but when I saw he was the last Precursor I scrapped the idea.
Graveminds are formed by lumping together random bodies and biomass that have flood infection/biomass on them. Eventually the bodies start to merge together and all the memories/knowledge of the infected tributes collect into a central intelligence, thus making the Gravemind.
While it would certainly be an interesting twist, I believe the Precursors really were something completely separate.
A photo-gravemind is formed from an original host (Keyes) and then added to with additional biomass to make a greater gravemind (The larger, better established one in Halo Wars).
Who's to say that if the original host was a more intelligent being (all evidence from Cryptum suggests that the prisoner is much more intelligent than a human). If the prisoner was infected and turned into a photo-gravemind and was added to over a hundred millennia it could turn into the massive creature seen in "Human Weakness".
