Now me:

I really hope you're right, but Harry could come of age and then be 
killed, which would keep it from being called false advertising!

Me again:

I don't think Wormtail will sacrifice himself for Harry.  I think 
Sirus is absolutely correct about Wormtail when he says to Wormtail 
in PoA: "You never did anything for anyone unless you could see what 
was in it for yourself."  Since Wormtail would have nothing to gain 
and everything to lose by sacrificing himself for Harry, I can't see 
him doing it.  But I *do* think Wormtail will do *something* that 
will either help Harry defeat Voldemort or protect Harry from 
Voldemort in order to pay back the life-debt.  I don't have a good 
idea as to what that *something* will be, but IMO it won't be a self-
sacrifice.

I also think that Voldemort already knows that he lost his 
immortality as part of the rebirthing process.  IIRC, in the 
graveyard scene in GoF, he tells the DEs that he is willing to accept 
a mortal body before chasing immortality again.  So I don't think 
this is the basis for the look of triumph in Dumbledore's eyes - I 
think Dumbledore is triumphant because he realizes something that 
Voldemort *doesn't* realize, and it has something to do with the use 
of Harry's blood (because it's after he hears about Harry's blood 
being used in the potion that Dumbledore exhibits that mysterious 
triumphant look).
