It totally would. And I seriously doubt that Dooku would have taken someone who was totally incompatible with him. Can you imagine him with Mace Windu as an apprentice? Even the most extreme version of what I'm postulating has Qui-Gon with latent rebellious/Council-questioning tendencies.
The question of how close Dooku was with Qui-Gon is also open for poking, though. I mean, there are sources that have explicitly said that Dooku left the Order because of Qui-Gon's death, etc, but that aside, in AotC, if we take Dooku as being serious in his desire to sway Obi-Wan, then he has incentive to overplay closeness with Qui-Gon. The more he can mess with Obi-Wan's
And, like, if Qui-Gon and Dooku are that close, then why the hell haven't Obi-Wan and Dooku's paths "crossed before"? Qui-Gon and Dooku were undoubtedly busy, a few thousand Jedi in a huuuuge universe, but did Qui-Gon never meet Dooku in the window where Dooku was a Jedi and Obi-Wan was a Padawan? Did Qui-Gon just not take Obi-Wan with him? Or are we meant to take "crossed" in the most literal sense?
I mean, I'm not postulating the absolute truth of any of these. They'd just be interesting alleys to turn.
