I can't be the first person to have the idea that Peter was in love with James and jealous of Lily, can I? The thought hit me like a ton of bricks while I was re-reading Othello. Hot damn, I think I've finally got an underlying reason for the betrayal that I can work with, not to mention a structure for this damned Bertha Jorkins story I've had kicking around.

And if drawing parallels between Harry Potter and Shakespeare doesn't put you off, you may be interested in [livejournal.com profile] idlerat's insights on HP and Christian allegory here and here.

By the way, in regards to Othello... whether you subscribe to Olivier's views or not, the play itself can't be slash, because it's canon. My understanding is that the "slash" label is reserved for apocrypha.
