It was "Flesh of the servant willingly *given*"...  What was *taken* 
was Harry's blood... and, according to the spell, that was "forcibly 
taken".  Peter might have had is doubts, but he willingly gave up his 
hand.  He also got a new shiny silver one to replace it.  Don't you 
use silver to kill a warewolf??
