LOL!  Dave, that's spot on, and it's hilarious.  I mean, inasmuch as 
Crucio can be hilarious.  <g>  Yes, this is exactly why I posted this 
topic - I'd forgotten that Wormtail knows all about it.  So many 
details, the head spins.  Now, I can't imagine that Wormtail wouldn't 
tell Voldemort... but then why would V leave it out of his tally, when 
he's detailing his second rise?  Maybe just because it's irrelevant, 
as Tom existed separately from what Voldemort was actually physically 
going through at the time?
