Good thinking. If I were in Remus' place, trusting my friends to keep 
me from hurting people - and then one of them decides to *assist*, 
how ever slightly, for someone to become hurt by me... Pettigrew also 
increased the distrust between them... No wonder even Remus Lupin was 
ready to slay the rat but respect to Prongs' memory is enough to 
prevent it for both.
