** Peter gets dismissed from his pizza delivery job due to recurring tardiness being a ground for workplace termination, plus his failure to make deliveries within the promised timeframe, which releases customers of their obligation to pay, which, in turn, costs his employer both money and further business. As far as his employer was aware, Peter was just a slacker, which made his termination completely justified.

** Harry tells Doc Ock that in order to find Spider-Man, he must find Peter first. Doc Ock somehow finds Peter with Mary Jane in a random cafe[[note]]The novelization explains he tapped Peter's phone lines[[/note]] and throws a car through the window straight at them. Any normal man would've been killed instantly, and Doc Ock doesn't know that Peter is Spider-Man. Given that Peter is his only lead on Spider-Man, it makes no sense that Doc Ock would effectively try to kill him.
** Near the film's climax, Spider-Man asks Harry to tell him the location of Doc Ock's hideout so he can save MJ and the city. Which Harry does. But how did Harry know where Doc Ock's hideout was in the first place? Doc Ock never tells him and there's no evidence he's been keeping tabs on Ock.
