I wonder how much Wormtail owes Harry. I guess we know Peter, in his 
own pathetic way did something to help Harry in GOF, by letting Barty 
Crouch Sr. escape. (I am not on this list enough to know if that 
connection is considered reasonable but it always seemed obvious to 
me) But as usual with Harry, the help was not clear enough and didn't 
work. I am just not sure how far the debt goes. Does Peter owe Harry 
endless help or does one good turn clear him? Considering LV would 
have fed Wormtail to Nagini if Barty Jr. hadn't intercepted his 
father, it does seem Peter risked his life to save Harry. If an 
attempt can be considered payback, then Peter might now be free to 
act as he wishes. I just hope your rebounding idea works somehow. I 
can just see the last scene, everything in a pile of smoldering ruins 
and Harry left standing, not sure of how it all happened but the 
completely dead body of LV lying there. But of course that wouldn't 
answer the problem of all those precautions LV took to prevent death, 
the magick that allowed his spirit to wisp away after AK rebounded 
from Baby Harry to him. How can that be solved? How can he truly die 
if he's taken some precaution to prevent ever dying?
