I think Voldy calls him Wormtail because he sees nothing
but a rat in him. He will probably kill him as soon as he
has no more use for him, which would be too bad for
Sirius, since he needs him to clear his name...

Some of them must have known it, but maybe not those
we know by their names.

I think it was completely gratuitous. And no, I confess that I
wasn't that much upset about it. It bothered me because it
was an unnecessary death that illustrated both Voldemort's
and Wormtail's ruthlessness, but I wasn't really upset. I
think I was too afraid that Sirius would die at the end of the
book, so it was a minor issue to me...

> 3.  Why didn't Wormtail bleed to death after he cut off his arm?

Good question, I never gave it a thought. Maybe he put some
spell on his hand we didn't see or hear. I think this was the
most gruesome scene in the whole book, it made me shudder
and I didn't care about the pesky little detail that he should
have bled to death...

This was really hilarious. I have just looked at the picture of
squidward in the file section and it made me laugh out loud!

I have to support this, it's really a wonderful story, so if you
haven't already read it, go ahead and read it!
