In a way, she would have been having the same kinds of feelings for Willow that Willow had for Xander in those days - only you wouldn't know it until Season 4 came along and they suddenly got together.I dunno... it could have worked. It would have given the relationship some different shadings from the way it is now, and I can't help wondering what that might have looked like. Or maybe it's just that I miss the good old days of W/T when they weren't getting pounded on every other episode
It would've been very interesting indeed, Bob! But... was Willow ready for Tara? I think Willow needed to have Oz to get... disillusioned, and then find Tara and realizing romance and longevity can go hand in hand. At 16, you've got this incredibly fantasized view on relationships and such. And the novelty of Tara is what attracted Willow at first, she liked to have someone, or something, that was just "hers".
Perhaps if Willow had known Tara earlier, she wouldn't have been looking at her as a new possibility... I don't know, I think it was timed perfectly. Plus, we got all those "discovery" moments we wouldn't have had if they were long-time buddies...
Then again, just my opinion. Don't flame me with your mighty logics and pointy wits, it is Friday...

Tara: No, see, 'cause your insect reflection represents your insignificance... in terms of the karmic cycle.
