I think this has been mentioned before, but I see a lot of parallels 
between Colin Creevy and Peter Pettigrew.  I believe it is Sirius (i 
dont have my book with me) that describes how James, Lupin and 
himself were often followed around by Peter (some sort of "hero 
worship" maybe?) and finally included him in their team.  

I also agree with the convenience of having a second Creevy around; 
If my feelings of dark foreshadowing are correct, Dennis is going to 
be victimized, and Colin will be set up perfectly to pull 
a "Pettigrew" on us.  

Of course, who knows what JKR has up her sleeve?

my two cents,
