I asked this very same question that got rejected by the moderators. 
Now that it's made it through, does anyone have any theories? I think 
it's probably in character for Scabbers/Pettigrew to always side with 
the winning side. Knowing who Crabbe and Goyle are, I would assume 
that old death eater families had a stigma attached to them. At the 
time the fight between the boys occurred on the train, Voldemort was 
still thought to be dead.
