Woops. My mistake. I read "Norman" and somehow thought "Harry." When
I started reading Spider Man seriously the first time around, Gwen and
Norman were already dead and Harry was the Green Goblin so it takes a
conscious effort to make put "Norman" in front of the name "Osborn"

Still an odd bit of logic since the fathering would have happened at the
same time in Peter's life regardless of who actually "did the deed."
