I don't see why it would make him a bad rival. Their actions hurt his sister, and his frustrations manifested themselves as a desire to revilve that, fueled by boyhood misdirection.
Second point:
Meh, I don't think it's forced. I can see why someone might subjectively not like it, but it's not like it's just some small thing. He's a misguided youth that is obsessed with a tragedy. It's actually a common plotline - a child loses one of his or her family members, and seeks them out or goes for vengeance, or any combination of that. It's not that novel, but it's definitely valid imo. So it's not forced in my opinion.
Third point:
I mean... it is an ad hominem, though. Completely irrelevant and an insult, even if you didn't mean it that way (ignoring you opening with calling me illiterate too.) In any case, sorry about the ad hominem in the first place, cus I can see you're actually just opinionated now (which is nothing I can complain about.)
Also pardon the late reply.
