Must say - good idea. Particularly as I think that to kill a 
werewolf, it must be *real* silver, as it is with Sickles. Also... I 
think wizards can't create silver - (and gold only with Philosopher's 
stone).

It being the thought-thing... The sacrifice of the servant had to be 
*willingly given* - if Wormtail *ever* wills not to serve Voldemort, 
if his "loyalty ever wavers" - the hand will instantly either 
disappear bringing all the pain back, thus informing Voldemort of 
this disappearance. It might also kill Pettigrew the moment he 
*thinks* of being disloyal to Voldemort. Or- Wormtails thoughts can 
be summoned into it for any DE to see...

How is Voldy going to react if he notices that Wormtail owes a life-
debt to Harry Potter? That the flesh reviving him owes a life-debt to 
the blood resurrecting him? Hm... I think Voldemort wanted Harry's 
blood because Harry was the one who defeated him! And: a foe must be 
someone who you fought against. Someone who has stood up to you. - 
Actually, only Dumbledore and Harry Potter were *real* foes. Others 
fighting against Voldemort simply obeyed orders from Dumbledore (or 
Harry: Ron/Hermione). And Voldy knows well that he'll never capture 
Dumbledore - not with only Wormtail, Crouch and a body too weak to 
stand!
