.... and this might seem odd .. but we don't bleed to death from 
cutting off a finger ...... it would be painfull to us ... muggles 
.... but i bet that Peter either had a spell or a charm to release the 
pain ... or maybe rats (he had to turn into a rat real quick .. 
afterall .... Sirius was at the scene .. and would possibly have 
killed him if he had been able to find him that moment) feel less pain 
than humans ....
