I think it would undermine what I see as a major theme in the series; namely, that everyone is important and seemingly minor choices have a large-scale effect because they effect everyone else. If Rand was the Serpent, ultimately it would be his approach and decisions that have the most importance far beyond anyone else.

The issue is that the Fisher King story is about the Land, not the People

But the chess analogy is what I'm seeing - the Dragon is necessary in degree not in total.

The disciples, not Jesus, were the "fishers of men." EDITED.

I, personally, like it. It makes sense for the Dragon to be an incarnation of the Serpent.
