Skeletor was always intended to be a relative of He-Man?
...and descendant of (the) King (of) Grayskull?
To elaborate, recently, the known He-Man/MOTU blog, Battle Ram, posted an article about the combined information from interviews with Mark Taylor (one of the creators of Masters of the Universe franchise, who literally started the franchise, who came up with earliest characters at least in part, most notably He-Man and Skeletor themselves), about his original ideas for the MOTU story. You can read it here.
Among these, it described that He-Man and Skeletor were intended to be half-brothers...and sons of (the) King (of) Grayskull. (obviously influencing the latter idea of Randor and Keldor being half-brothers, and the King of Grayskull very probably inspired in part the latter King Grayskull.)
[EDIT: After being contacted by the article's writer, Jukka Issakainen (ToonJukka/ @toonjukka) I have to correct that it doesn't seem the idea of He-Man and Keldor being (half-) brothers, had influence on Randor's and Keldor's storyline I will also include other points on which he informed me.]
He-Man was also mentioned to be of partly divine heritage, and as his mother was from all it seems a normal human, it does seem the King of Grayskull himself was to a level divine.
The very first Masters of the Universe minicomic mentions the warrior who split the Sword of Power (and seemingly shows the silhouette of - though possibly also of He-Man or Skeletor uniting the Sword and becoming the next king), and seemingly previous ruler who lived in Castle Grayskull, most probably the King of Grayskull from Mark Taylor's conception.
He was less moral, more similar to CGI King Grayskull - as the King of Grayskull threatened and scared other kings of Eternia into submission, by threatening to release the various monstrosities from the very beginning and very end of of time from the Well of Souls. With his court being decadent and corrupt.
The Well of Souls is a pit within Castle Grayskull that extends across time and space itself, possibly being a miniature black hole.
(Skeletor's mother also was the one who fashioned the cap/cage that sealed, and allowed for the unsealing of the Well of Souls for the King of Grayskull.)
The sealed Well of Souls - one of the monstrosities sealed there, the one in the upper left corner, resembles, and very possibly inspired Filmation's Sh'Gora and Revelation's Orlax. [EDIT: It seems Sh'Gora is unrelated to the tentacled creature, but Orlax is based on it, as clarified by Jukka Issakainen.]
He-Man's mother was an athletic warrior, while Skeletor's was a crafty sorceress.
Skeletor's mother wanted to kill He-Man (who was still a young child). Man-at-Arms saved He-Man, after being contacted by his mother, and brought him up.
[EDIT: Origonally I misinterpreted Skeletor being on his mother plan to kill He-Man, but I just misread the article]
Skeletor's mother still managed to poison the court, possibly being the reason for the King of Grayskull's death (this makes her similar to DC comics Saryn). She also fought with and killed He-Man's mother.
During this coup, Skeletor fallen into the Well of Souls, were the demons and monsters there torn his face away (taking away his once handsome features), and them and the well altered him - his skin becoming blue, having now only three clawed toes, ridges protruding from his forearms, making him an undead demon, it also made far stronger, tougher, and magically empowered.
(This resembles the latter stories how Keldor became Skeletor, especially the 2021 CGI version, were Keldor thrown himself into the pit of power of Grayskull corrupted into Havoc in Castle Grayskull, to fully embrace it. As well how it earlier disfigure his arm. In general the CGI series used quite a bit of the early minicomic lore as inspiration.)
When Skeletor's mother saved him from the Well of Souls, she was terrified but what became of her son, and committed suicide.
He-Man was after this brought up in Atlantis (!), which apparently sunk some time ago - all of this, including the fact Teela's narration implying King Grayskull lived at least somewhat long ago, makes me think if maybe He-Man, Man-at-Arms and Skeletor not being older than it seems.
[EDIT: It does seem He-Man being brought up in Atlantis, was from another version/idea Mark Taylor had about He-Man's origins.]
He-Man himself is magically gifted, but refused to use magic, due to magic in this version, always having a price, but also also as I think Skeletor and his mother using it, might also made He-Man distrust it.
There are other very interesting bits - like the fact Castle Grayskull was created by an extremely ancient species not from Eternia, and that predated humanity by "eons", with Zodac being a partially human descendants of that species.
(Would be interesting if this species was Hordians, which would explain their obsession with the power of Grayskull and Starseed on multiple incarnations, and Zodac being a Hordian in DC comics).
Castle Grayskull was also an carved skull of a giant's remains that sunk into earth, modified by the alien species. And it was described the giant might one day "awaken" again - indeed, possibly a least in part inspiring Castle Grayskull Man, and an idea for a MOTU reboot for Castle Grayskull there being made from Tytus' remains.
And I recommend to check it out - it's fascinating how elements from Mark Tayor's unused ideas were re-used and re-imagined by various MOTU series.
EDIT: Also thanks to Jukka Issakainen / @toonjukka for contacting me, and of course, writing this article.

Original She-Ra Oddities
She-Ra: Princess of Power being a spinoff of the He-Man cartoon produced some oddities in the show’s worldbuilding. Here are a few:
1. Castle Grayskull. In the episode “Reunions” (part of “The Secret of the Sword”), Hordak in rocket form follows Adora through a space portal. It’s the one Adam took from Castle Grayskull to Etheria earlier, so Hordak rockets right into the most sensitive, magically guarded power center in the setting and out the door, crashing nearby. He recognizes that he’s back on Eternia, then proceeds to never covet or even mention Grayskull again.
2. The Horde doesn’t know about Trolla. In “A Talent for Trouble”, Hordak captures Orko and has no idea what he is. Shadow Weaver and he try to analyze him with magic and a scientific brain scan and are completely baffled.
3. The Sorceress seems oblivious to Horde Prime. The He-Man episode “Origin of the Sorceress” revealed that 15-year-old Teela-Na became Sorceress of Grayskull to stop a being named Morgoth who had teamed up with the crew of a Horde scout starship. It’s implied in “The Secret of the Sword” that the knowledge she gained was key to Eternia being prepared to repel the later Horde invasion. But she only ever mentions Hordak, not Prime.
4. No Zodac.Though appearing in just three He-Man episodes, Zodac was implied to be a big, cosmic deal. He travels the universe as Cosmic Enforcer, serving “the Overlords of the Eternal Dimension”. He has to protect artifacts like the Golden Discs of Knowledge because “there are too many Skeletors in the universe.” How he, other Cosmic Enforcers like Zanthor, and their masters balance “not interfering in the affairs of mortal men” with the existence of an evil immortal who rules a thousand planets was never addressed.

200X Hordak
Many think this incarnation of Hordak, would be shown as evil as his MOTUC or even DC counterparts...but would that be the case?
There are some hints that he would have some redeeming qualities, like his 80s counterparts. For example, he didn't want to destroy Eternia in ancient times, hence he himself stopped his Spell of Separation, as opposed to his MOTUC counterpart, that didn't have such calms.
There us his infamous murder of Calix after he gave sound advice…there might had been more to it. In 2002 at He-Man.org, the fans could post questions to Story Editor and Writer for the animated He-Man series; Dean Stefan. One of the questions to him was:
Q: Is there a connection between Hordak and Zodak? (This was suggested somewhere before the 2k2 series)
A: Their names both end in "dak." Food for thought.
Suggesting there indeed was a connection. The DC comics in turn, made Zodac Hordac's brother (though they are both there sons of Horde Prime).
It's possible this was an re-used unused idea from the 200X series.
(It's also interesting there seems to be suggestion there was a connection between Hordak and Zodac in 80s lore, but I couldn't find it - yet.)
But this would mean Zeelahr is also Hordak's brother...the same guy King Hiss devoured alive. Which possibly did affect Hordak emotionally, hence he first focused on defeating and banishing King Hiss and the Snake Men, if at cost of his forces.
Calix bringing this up their loses to Hordak and saying they should wait possibly pissed of Hordak immensely. It's also possible Hordak blamed Grayskull's forces and allies for Zeelahr's death (and "turning" him and Zodak against him), as well as possibly thinking he sacrificed to much to to stop or slow down now.
While his turning of Keldor into Skeletor was cruel it's still is kinda pragmatic - Skeletor is now bound to him, stronger and no longer had any doubts that had before when going against his brother and his allies.
...Or he might had been a complete bastard, we won't know, but still, I think this is worth thinking about.
