He’d had it
It was a bit late to repair the damage, but Harry swore to himself not to meddle in things that weren't his business from now on. He'd had it with sneaking around and spying.
I think the thick ‘it’ indicates Harry’s meddling in things. Then can ‘He’d had it’ be replaced by ‘He’s done it’?

No, you can't do that. "have had it with" is an idiom and it roughly means "to not be able to tolerate something or someone anymore" I've had it with your lies. (I've had enough of your lies) or in past time He said he'd had it with your lies.
