As I said before, without Sandman, then the revenge storyline wouldn't be as good as it would be with Sandman. Peter wants revenge on Flint Marko/Sandman for accidentally shooting his Uncle Ben, but Aunt May says that revenge is like a poison and that it can turn us into something ugly. If Sandman wasn't in it, then it would be just Harry forgiving Peter for the death of Norman Osborn. Sandman makes it so that Peter learns a lesson as well, which is not to let revenge take over.
That theme coudl have been easily re-worked with Peter wanting revenge on Harry for crippling his relationship with MJ...with influence from the black suit of course.
In any event, the idea of revenge and forgiveness could have been preserved while reworking the story no prob.
