 After reading HBP's second chapter, this is the last time we hear from Pettigrew. Where could he be? Why didnt he come and help the DEs at Hogwarts in HBP? I dont like Pettigrew but I hate to leave him out because he is a BIG character because he was the one who ratted(no pun included) out Lily and James to LV. Anyway, I have thought about another character who kinda helped LV too get Lily and James by listening to half the prophecy and reporting it to LV...you guessed it Severus Snape. This bullentin will be comparing the two to each other:The Differences Peter Pettigrew- 1.People underestimate him because he is cowardly and small and he reminds most of a rat. 2.No one(readers) seemed to defend Pettigrew's actions. At first in PoA when we first know about Pettigrew we pity him because we thought he was murdered by Sirius. When we finally know the truth about Pettigrew we hate him and thats the end to that 3.I hate Peter Pettigrew(this is not needed but i want to insert this in) Severus Snape- 1.People dont underestimate Snape because he is a powerful wizard and knows alot 2.Even though we have known Snape for six years and get the impression that he is a greasy haired git, and even after the incident with the killing with Dumbledore and how he treats Harry some readers still find a reason to trust him(which includes me)but does Peter get this? No....how sad...not!  3.I trust Snape(this is also not needed but i want to put it) The Connections Peter Pettigrew & Severus Snape- 1.Both are the same age or maybe on is alittle older or younger, [b]2. Both are doubted by Lord Voldemort and some how redeemed themselves to prove themselves 3.Both were defended by Remus...Remus defends Peter in PoA before knowing the truth and he defends Snape in front of Harry because if DD trusted Snape Remus would too. 4.Both betrayed people(Peter- Lily and James, Sirius, Remus, so forth: Snape- LV, DD, Order(if he killed DD on purpose) 5.Both are spies. 6.Both arent trusted by Death Eaters. They talk about Snape's allegiance to LV behind his back and they dont respect Peter so I guess they dont trust him. 7.Both were saved by a Potter. Snape was saved by James which he has repaid by saving Harry loads of times! And Harry saved Peter from Remus and Sirius from killing him. Hmm....as for my comparsions and differences between the wo MAJOR characters it seems that they both are kind equal in a way. I'm not saying whether you guys should like Snape or Pettigrew maybe you should just think about how they are alike. Should Pettigrew be redeemed just like how some Snape is good fans believe? i would like to hear your thoughts on the matter  -------------------- When I think of it, its like a new adventure waiting to be explored. Everything that humankind discovers or tries to figure out leaves nothing for the IMAGINATION because there are FACTS to prove you right or wrong. But the afterlife makes you wonder: what next?
