There would have been a huge amount of publicity over Harriet being called as a witness - particularly alongside Peter - and you'd think she'd have mentioned it at some point. I suspect it went on murderer's confession and she didn't get called but I would like her to be and the reasons you give do justify it. We don't get Peter's reaction to Urquhart's hanging either, even at the end of BUSM. "It might have been me" doesn't really cover it. It is all missing!
The trouble with panicky opportunist (though supported by his reaction to the Turkish delight) is that the alibi required a lot of calculated forward planning. How long does it take to build up immunity anyway? Today's theory is that he was so enamoured of his own perfect murder method that he forgot to think about anything else.

There is no such thing as too many WIPs.
