Pettigrew's bond with Harry

I have read earlier postings about "wizards saving wizards" and their 
life-debts. However, I found something a little different.

In PoA, Dumbledore says to Harry,  "Pettigrew owes his life to you. 
You have sent Voldemort a deputy who is in your debt
when one
wizard saves another wizard's life, it creates a certain bond
between them...and I'm much mistaken if Voldemort wants his
servant in the debt of Harry Potter."

I discovered something interesting when re-reading GoF:

1. "Wormtail screamed, screamed as though every nerve in his body 
were on fire ,the screaming filled Harry's ears as the scar on
his forehead seared with pain; he was yelling too..." (p.577)

2. "..he closed his eyes as tightly as he could, but he could not 
block the scream that pierced the night, that went through Harry as 
though he had been stabbed with the dagger too." (p.642)

3. "He pressed his long white forefinger to the brand on
Wormtail's arm. The scar on Harry's forehead seared with a
sharp pain again,and Wormtail let our a fresh howl..." (p. 645)

It seems whenever Wormtail/Pettigrew is in pain, Harry feels it too. 
This "certain bond" is not just a life-debt, but an actual physical 
link. But it doesn't stop at just being physical, Harry can be 
transported in his "dreams" to where Pettigrew is, as in what happens 
in the first chapter of GoF.

This bond between Pettigrew and Harry is not the typical life-debt. 

Just some interesting observations...
