Well, I'm sure that Harry's dream are a huge factor in the rest of 
the story since they seem to foreshadow major events.  

For Pettigrew, he did not interfere in the graveyard, but in the 
first chapter in GoF he does try to talk LV out of using Harry as his 
target for getting his body back - with his lack of courage, he 
probably justified that to himself as satisfying the life debt.  In 
PoA when Sirius confronts him, he claims to have gone to LV's side 
because (paraphrasing) it was pointless to resist someone so 
powerful.  This gives us some insight into his strengh of mind.

I would guess that in the graveyard scene, besides the fact that the 
life debt remains as foreshadowing for a future event that will be 
even more life threatening to Harry than this one, since Harry was 
given the opportunity to defend himself Pettigrew was able to reason 
that the result was out of his hand.  He did, after all, give Harry 
back his wand which would at least seem like equal footing.
