<But it *is* explained!>

Oh, I don't disagree that an explanation is offered:

< Pettigrew himself, explaining:
"He would've killed me! What was there to be gained by opposing him?"
There. The rat. Survivor. Anything - anything at all, to stay alive.>

Just because Peter gave an explanation doesn't mean it's an acceptable one,
though. Ultimately, we are responsible for our choices. Peter *chose* to do
what he did.

<Hermione... I'm not so sure what she would do. Run to library?>

I think Hermione is a very strong character. I think she would tell
Voldemort what he could do to himself and how fast. I honestly think she'd
rather die than align herself with Voldemort or endanger Harry in any way.

Again, just my two cents!
