[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 1641699, member: 151"] I think that's a function of Harry's subconscious knowing what his conscious mind refuses to accept....and the truth of both Peter and his father is what breaks his fragile grasp on sanity. After all, he's been obsessing about it for two years...it's not hard to believe he would have started to connect the dots...and then tried to find a way to disbelieve it, IMHO. Tell that to the thug who killed Uncle Ben. Spiderman is all about the guilt over that event...and he works vey hard to try and prevent that situation from becoming a reality again. Even though it becomes something of a running gag in the comics first 20 years or so, where a legion of folks find out his identity; many of them safeguarding it without his knowing, or and an equal number of enemies who don't reveal it for their own reasons. Nickelodeon currently has an animated show (which my kids love) called "Danny Phantom". If you ignore the slight alteration in format, the fact is that Danny is clearly inspired by Peter Parker, and much of the show's format is clearly a very close analog to the webhead and his adventures. It's clearly inspired from those old stories, right down to having a green goblin-esque enemy who knows his secret, and the secret identity detente that forms around them. [/QUOTE]
