With all this discussion of the possible future role of Peter 
"Wormtail" I thought I'd include my five cents' worth (we don't have
2 cent coins here!;-) ).In PoA DD tells Harry, I vaguely recall, that 
the time may come when he's glad he spared Wormtail, just as Gandalf 
in LOTR tells Frodo that Gollum may yet have a role to play and mercy 
is best, etc. Well, Gollum, sad character as he was, didn't die 
heroically saving Frodo, he died grabbing the Ring, but incidentally 
saving Frodo, and I think it's possible that Wormtail will do 
something similar. He just doesn't strike me as the sort of character 
who'd be redeemed - sorry. Too slimy, IMHO. Sue B
