It's odd, I know, but I've never thought of Peter as a particular warm person. I think it's a result of his social ineptitude - he just doesn't know, to a certain extent, how to be caring and how to express his feelings. I definitely see Harry as the more dominant one, the one with more initiative and with more drive to get what he wants. And I think Harry would be less afraid to express his emotions.
the pizza place
In my head, this actually takes place in Pete's apartment. Actually, the line "backed right up against the wall" happens in my head with Pete literally climbing up the wall with his Spidey powers, because I have this feelings that he instinctively turns to his powers whenever he's distressed. And then he ducks out of the window (again with his powers) and just escapes the scene, because he's just incapable of dealing with the situation. The Peter in this fic is a horrible, horrible jerk, I know. *smiles sheepishly*
Peter as one of the reasons behind why Harry makes the choice he did
I've always thought that Peter's reaction, or action, would be the pivotal point that causes Harry to become the Green Goblin. The moment towards the end of the second film, where Harry says no to his father, tells me so clearly that Peter is so much more to him than whatever legacy his father has left him, and so it makes sense to me that it would be Peter, either rejecting, neglecting, or simply being unable to face him, that would tilt the balance. In a certain way, I think Pete is more important to Harry that Harry is to Pete, which is why I feel so much more for Harry (even though I can't write him for nuts), and it's also, I think, the reason why Harry is so upset. Not so much that Peter killed his father, but more of that Peter doesn't trust him enough to confess.

And you make me believe.
