Peter does owe Harry a life debt.  Every time I consider this I keep 
rerunning the graveyard scene from GOF and wonder if Peter knew Harry 
had been bitten by that spider?  It did seem that Peter bound Harry 
by hand not with magic.(strange) Was Harry's blood poisoned? It did 
seem he experienced more than a bite but rather a poisonous bite in 
the maze and also seemed so when Fawke's tears healed Harry in DD's 
office.  Will this affect the effectiveness of Harry's blood in 
Voldemort's "rebirth". If it does affect Voldemorts rebirth/powers in 
some way will this be a "repayment" of the life debt owed to Harry? 
(If the poisoned blood gives Harry an edge over Voldemort.)
