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! |

Well, there is an interesting comment in POA, that Sirius (as the traitor) thought he'd get to be second in command. Of course, it turns out it was Peter but maybe that still holds true that he thought he was going to get something out of the deal. Look where it did get him! :O
I really just think he wouldn't be a hard nut to crack. But then again he was obviously more clever than anyone could have possibly imagined. -------------------- Sweet is true love that is given in vain, and sweet is death that takes away pain. -Alfred, Lord Tennyson |
