It just occured to me that Peter Petigrew did not seem to be terribly good at Occulmency or Legilimency so how did he fool Dumbledore and co into believing he has on their side?
I don't know if this has been covered elsewhere. If so sorry! |

I agree with most of what has been said. I think that Peter started hanging out with James, Sirius and Remus thinking that they were cool and genuinely looking up to them. then, obviously, he was pushed into the shadows, and did what was expected of him...he became and animagus, joined the order, hung out with the maurauders, but i don't think his heart was in a lot of it. so, when something different came along (ie voldemort) peter wanted to do something unexpected. he wanted to prove that he was his own person. and yes, i think he was scared. and while i do think wormtail is powerful (he AK'ed Cedric and revived Voldemort, this took power) and not very nice (same examples), i don't think he is pure evil like a lot of DE's are. I think he sometimes regrets what he has done, and while he feels safer with voldemort, i don't think he likes voldemort all that much...
i almost feel sorry for him almost |
