I don't see Tebbitt *not* being a "great love" of Susan, but I think I'm searching for things from a different angle. The terrible romantic in me finds the possibility fascinating of Susan (well, really any of the Pevensies) not being able to find "true love" in Narnia, but do in England.
And Tebbitt does read as rather strong, at least to me, but I'd say just equally strong as Susan, not by any means above her. They've put themselves through similar circumstances after all.
I do buy Susan as a, as they say, a LUG: Lesbian Until Graduation. Or, I suppose, in her case, a LUNO: Lesbian Until Narnia's Over... ha!
And now there's something to look forward to reading regarding Peter.
On a completely unrelated, yet still highly relevant, note... there's a song on the new Duran Duran record called "The Man Who Stole a Leopard." It's a rather tongue-in-cheek fictional account (set to music, natch) of a man who is in love with his pet leopard, and I cannot listen to it without thinking of Peter and his OTL cheetah. Hysterical. I highly recommend giving it a listen!
