If the spell used by Peter only affected muggles (and, so far, there is 
no reason to believe that there are such spells), Peter wouldn't have 
been able to fake his own death, since he's a wizard. He had to use a 
spell that could kill him, after all, or else it wouldn't make much 
sense to use it in the first place.

In the line I started above, although we know that wizards are tougher 
than muggles, being able to survive unscathed punishment that would 
kill a muggle, this doesn't seem to aply to ofensive spells. AK, 
Cruciatus and Imperio are equal-oportunities: they affect equally 
muggles and wizards. All other spells that have been tried in both 
species have been equally damaging to both (like the memory charm), and 
in fact, the wizards seem unimpressed by that fact (i.e. they don't 
mention that "we had to give him a low charge, because he's a muggle" 
or anything like it), although this could be put down to the deficient 
knowledge of muggles by wizards.

Hope that helps,
