not view the confrontation between Black and Pettigrew as being innocent
Pettigrew chasing evil Black."

There is the possibility that Pettigrew is not a DE. He may be working for
Voldemort, and be a spy for him, but this in no way makes him a DE.

>From what Black says about his time in Azkaban, it is clear that some of
Voldemort's supporters knew that Pettigrew was working for him.

It is not clear how many of these were DE's. In the post game euphoria, many
had been drinking and when they saw someone attacking the muggles they may
have joined in, even though they are not DE's. It would have only needed a
couple of actual DE's to start the incident and after that they could just
run off.

Thanks to all that helped me with this volume problem. In the UK a pint is
0.568 litres and is divided into 20 fluid ounces. I was pretty sure that
things were different in the US and so decided to ask. My usual mug (for
tea - I do not drink coffee) is about this size and I also have an even
bigger mug for when I need a large volume of tea.
