A person's character *can* change over the course of time. There's no doubt 
in my mind that Pettigrew was a perfectly loyal bloke when he was sorted at 
age 11. You also should take into consideration that we do not know the 
circumstances of Peter's betrayal. All we know is that he was the 
secret-keeper and Voldemort got the secret out of him. What exactly happened 
is something we do not yet know.

Anyway, I believe whole-heartedly that Peter was a Gryffindor. We know for a 
fact that James and Remus were, and I can safely conclude that Sirius was as 
well. I doubt that a Slytherin would be accepted into a group of Gryffindors.
