off their feet then Peter cut his finger and turned into a rat to 
escape.  

or even cut his finger off before confronting Sirius.  Sirius says he, 
SB, cornered him, PP (363 in US ed), but that doesn't mean Peter 
wasn't looking for the confrontation.  We know that Peter was in the 
position that Fudge imagines Sirius to have been in:  the moment he 
revealed himself as the traitor, his master lost his power.  He wants 
the opportunity to frame Sirius, fake his death, and disappear.  So 
maybe he cut off his finger as soon as he worked out the plan and then 
went looking for Sirius.
