Should be enough....

<<On why V calles Pettigrew "Wormtail" during the first chapter - I
thought it really helped set the tone - "Wormtail" sounds bad, and slimy
(I know - its just because he could turn into a rat) and V's use of
it - espessially when chastising Pettigrew throughout the book - seems
appropriate - like even V doesn't think he deserves his "human" name -
almost to make him a thing than a person. It seems to give Pettigrew
almost an "igor" personification - you know - like the "igor's" in those
old horror movies - the faithful, if somewhat disfigured assistant.>>

Maybe it is very similar to Star Wars (I know like anything isn't like
it;P) Maybe, as Ben Kenobi tells young Luke, maybe when Peter gave
himself as a servant to Voldemort his old self Peter Pettigrew died and
V's calling him Wormtail shows that he has nothing to do with his old
life any more.
