If there's any weak link, this might be it. "Willingly." Hmmm. I'd characterize
Wormtail as being under duress--about as willing as a beaten wife who stays
with her tormentor. He's not a cheerful giver, if you get my drift. I think he
only helped Voldemort rise as self-protection, since he knows the other
Voldemort supporters would cheerfully do unimaginable things to him if they
found he was alive.

Looked like force to me. They forced him to the stone, force him to remain tied
there, use force to make the wound......this is like saying it isn't rape if
the woman is restrained so that she cannot kick or scream. Hmph.
