Now me:

IIRC, there is nowhere in canon that says that Pettigrew was in 
Gryffindor.  It's a good theory, since we know James was in 
Gryffindor and he and Peter were friends at Hogwarts, but it's not a 
certainty.

Snuffles again:

Now me:

Sirius was able to get away with turning into a dog because no one 
knew he was an unregistered animagus and the Dementors couldn't see 
his transformations.  Since Pettigrew has now been revealed as an 
unregistered animagus, if he had gone to Azkaban, presumably the 
Ministry would have put someone to guard him who would be able to see 
if he turned into a rat and would be able to do something to stop his 
escape.
