Hmm, I always assumed that Peter just took advantage
of being able to have someone else provide his food
and shelter; making sure he slept in warm house
instead of freezing to death, starving to death, or
being eaten by a predator.

That he was handed down to Ron didn't really change
anything (except maybe he got more table food).  Even
Ron being best friends with Harry didn't change
anything.

Sure, he took advantage (or stored up so he could
later take advantage) of what he learned, but I don't
think that was his primary reason for being with the
Weasley's.

Is it unlikely that he would just happen to end up
with the one who would be Harry's best friend: of
course.

But then, there are a lot of unlikely things in HP.
