now Shirley:
But why would he be at Hogwarts?  Crookshanks could probably sniff 
him out if he was anywhere near the Gryffindor tower.  And when you 
say "new" spy; who was the old one?  

I'm not trying to shoot you down; I just don't see that as his 
assignment.  In fact, LV seems to have so little regard for him - he 
always calls him Wormtail and never Peter, have you noticed? - that 
I'd think he'd just keep him around as a servant/lackey/scapegoat.

Shirley, who wonders what that new 'silver super-hand' looks like 
when he becomes Scabbers....
