I'm glad you found it interesting! Hmm, I'd never thought about putting that interpretation on it. I always take it as pretty straight-up making fun of how country Fraser is. :) Actually, joandarck mentioned below that Fraser actually denies being a Capricorn in canon, so I guess he couldn't have been born on Christmas Day. (Capricorn is Dec 23 to Jan 21.)
I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. I think Fraser has a strong sense of vengeance (or vindictiveness), but he keeps a very tight leash on it. It's true that he doesn't actually go Old Testament on Gerard, but the impulse is clearly there--when he pulls the gun on him, or all through "A Bird In The Hand." We can even see it in little things like opening the door into Orsini's tender bits for Ray. He just represses, like he does with most other emotions, or redirects it into his drive for justice (which isn't so far removed from revenge, in a way).
