I do not think that Peter voluntarely became a DE. I think he was 
persured by Voldemort because he was the weakest link in the Potter 
chain.  He was most likely promised a lot or even just his life and 
he reluctantly became a DE because he was not as strong as the 
others. I do not think he would have betrayed the trust put into him 
otherwise.
