"Does anyone have any ideas about this? --Doldra"

At the end of the book, after Remus has burst in (PoA). Black say's 
something (not got book with me, can't be sure) or agrees that he *was* 
responsible for the Potter's death. Now, I'm curious as to *why* Black 
switched with Pettigrew - was it because Black felt that he was being 
tempted by Voldemort's prophesies (sorry, spelling off I know), and didn't 
want to admit his weakness by himself giving away the Potter's, and so he 
got Pettigrew (Someone he *knew* was weaker than him and more vunerable) to 
switch. Just so he wouldn't feel bad when the Potter's were 'got' by 
Voldemort.

Or was it because he felt guilty because he switched with Pettigrew.

As for him choking Harry -- blinded by rage, or blinded by the hate that he 
suddenly felt for someone he thought was hiding Pettigrew? Maybe Black 
thought it was impossible that other people didn't believe Pettigrew was 
still alive. Maybe he'd kidded himself that it wasn't just him that knew 
Pettigrew was alive.

Um, interesting stuff eh? Call me sad but I'm sort of hoping Black and Snape 
have a bit of a scrap (fight) later on.
