Iggy:

I just realized something.  I think we can almost count it as canon that
Peter was in Slytherin.

Remember:  Hagrid is quoted as saying that there wasn't a witch or wizard
that went bad that wasn't in Slytherin.

Peter went bad in his betrayal of James and Lilly, in betraying the Order by
turning two of their members to Voldemort, in turning his back on the Order
by joining Voldemort, and all the stuff he did since then.

Also, as quoted from Phineas Nigellus (OotP, ch 23, p 495, US ed.) "We
Slytherins are brave, yes, but not stupid.  For instance, given the choice,
we will always chose to save our own necks."

Peter always chose to save his own neck rather than do what he knew was
right.  (Especially in helping to capture Harry and raise Voldemort in GoF,
even though he really didn't want to use Harry.)  Also, from almost word one
that we hear about him, he always hung out with people stronger than himself
in order both to feel important, and to protect himself.  Something that's
decidedly a Slytherin thing to do, IMHO.  (Also, I don't know if Voldemort
would trust anyone who WASN'T from Slytherin.  Which is one reason Snapes is
such a good spy for Dumbledore to use... He's the Head of Slytherin.)


Just my two centaurs worth.
