The Creevey - Pettigrew similarities are striking aren't they 
(setting aside the fact that Colin's a muggle)?

Colin, like Pettigrew, is a hanger-on rather than a real member of 
the group. Colin, like Pettigrew, is treated dismissively by his 
Potter idol. Colin, like Pettigrew, seems wimpy and ineffectual. 
Colin, like Pettigrew, seems to bask in any Potter-associated glory 
he can get. Colin, like Pettigrew, seems to be viewed by other 
students as generally forgettable.

My counterintuitive conclusion: A Creevey gone bad seems just too 
Pettigrew. Having said that, it seems clear that someone in the next 
generation Order of the Phoenix (a.k.a. Dumbledore's Army) is or will 
become corrupt. Any guesses out there?
