I'm enjoying the discussion about Wormtail's exploits.  In thinking back on 
the ealier Quidditch banter, there was some discussion about whether or not 
Peter/Wormtail might be the metaphorical 'golden snitch' in a hypothetical 
game:  Dark v. Harry & Co.

Is there anybody else in the series who has recently (the last few years) 
spent as much time in the close proximity of BOTH Voldemort and Harry?  
Harry lived in the same dormitory with him for most of three years (has 
Harry EVER touched Wormtail/Peter/Scabbers??) and Voldemort was nursed by 
him for several months.

Peter might be characterized as a weakling, but his exploits are important 
to many of the major characters in these books.
