nobodysrib:
The biggest bully around?  Does that mean that you see MWPP (er, MPP,
that is) as bullies? <snip some more stuff>

Cathy replies to nobodysrib:
I do not consider that Black, Potter, & Lupin were bullies.  I think
Pettigrew goes for who he considers the most powerful around.  He didn't
have any trouble betraying his friends to Voldemort when he thought the DEs
were going to be more powerful. I guess "bully" wasn't the right choice of
words, but I suspect most people got the general idea. Pettigrew is a
sniveling little git who latches on to whoever he thinks is the stongest.
He's not loyal to those that were his true friends at all -  he is only
interested in protecting his own hide.  He went back to Voldemort because
there was no where else to go where he would be protected once he was
"outed" from being a rat.  The DEs thought that he had betrayed them, too
(according to what Sirius heard in Azkaban).  It just doesn't say a lot for
him that he hid out for 12 years as a rat.
