Great essay!

Joss told recently that as soon as he met James Marsters he started to shape the Spike we know:

Yet even in the script of School Hard, written before the auditions started, there are surprizing tidbits that suggest that Spike was doomed to become a major player and Buffy's mirror. "Home, sweet home". "Do we really need weapons for this?" Indeed. :)

Also, Buffy and Spike wear "Spuffy red marks" in this episode.

Sometimes I wonder if it was karmic. I mean - rewatch School Hard. As soon as Dru tries to "see" the slayer, her face changes. She says she can't see her. But with in hindsight it looks like she saw Spike "covered with the slayer" but lied to him.
