I have also always been bothered by their increadible stupidity that 
night. I never thought of the Rita Skeeter way of handeling Pettigrew 
though. I simply wondered why Lupin and Sirius didn't just stun him 
(as this seems to be a spell most wizards know how to perform) and 
carry him up to the castle while he was unconscious, thereby making 
it imposible for him to escape. I know that he has to escape for the 
plot for the next books to work, but still it seem that Lupin and 
Sirius choose one of the worst and most risky alternatives of 
detaining Pettigrew.
