How smart is Peter?

I have been thinking about Peter. I don't think he is as weak as we 
might think. In book three we learn he was able to become an Animagus. 
True he needed help but he was able to master the spell. When he went 
into hiding he was able to kill 13 people with one spell. He also was 
smart enough to hide out at the Weasley's. Who knows what he heard? I 
do not think he was as smart as James and the others. We have many 
places that others say he is weak. Any thoughts on this?
