 I've wondered that myself, didn't find any answer in the books 
 (though that's no guarantee there's not one there) and concluded on 
 my own that Pettigrew must have put an Imperius curse on him.  After 
 all, if you're going to frame someone, why not pull out all the stops 
 and make him appear really heinous?  Though he didn't have much time 
 to (i) blow up the street, (ii) make Sirius laugh, (iii) say "Sirius, 
 how could you?", (iv) cut off his finger, and (v) transform and 
 escape.  Pettigrew seemed kind of slow to pull of all that off at 
 once, or to have plotted it all out in advance. >>

It could have been kind of like an ironic laugh too. Like as soon as he 
dissappeared he more or less figured it out, ya know? ^^*
