Severus aka Perseus: the implications - clutching at straws?

Following on from the Snape anagram Perseus Evans thread, here are 
some of the details of the Perseus myth:

- He had winged feet (bat like metaphors spring to mind with Snape)
- He used a mirror so that he would not have to look at the Medusa 
when he approached her (Snape was verrrry interested in that Foe 
Glass).
- Perseus beheaded the Medusa
- Perseus accidently killed his grandfather, but I can't think of any 
other family links which would be pertinent to an Evans' family story.

Of course, at the mention of the word "beheaded", I immediately 
thought of Harry surely he can't be like the Medusa?

BUT:-

The Medusa turned people to stone by looking them in the eyes. We 
know Harry's eyes will be important, but how?

We know that in PS/SS JKR dropped several people into the story for 
no reason. So perhaps, Dudley's friend Piers will make a come back. 
Could Harry lose control and turn Piers to Stone? "Piers" is a 
variant of "Peter" meaning stone or rock.

The Medusa had snake-tresses for her hair. Harry of course has very 
untidy hair that sticks out in all directions and an affinity with 
snakes because of his abilty to speak Parseltongue. (This is where 
any superficial resemblance ends as he is not ugly like the Medusa 
etc etc)


I know this is probably another far-fetched conspiracy theory, but 
heh, what's the harm?
