What house Peter was sorted into.

There has been quite a bit of discussion as to which house Peter was put
into.  I find it quite extraordinary that he would be put in Gryffindor,
since only the bravest and most chivalrous go there, and Peter is
definitely neither.  There is no doubting that Sirius and James are
brave and chivalrous, so they must have been in Gryffindor, and Remus
said he definitely was in Gryffindor.  If Peter was sorted into
Slytherin, it is unlikely that he could have become friends with Remus
et., al, considering the track record between Slytherins and
Gryffindors.  Also, Slytherin is for the most ambitious, and Peter does
not seem to be overtly so.  It was lack of courage, not ambition (as far
as I know) that made Peter turn to Voldemort - so he says, anyway.
Peter definitely would not have been in Ravenclaw since he is not a
bright spark.  The only house I can think of is Hufflepuff.  After all,
Peter must have been patient to wait around as a rat for 12 years, and
it would have required patience to learn the Animagus spell with his
more-bright friends.
