"and during the Hogwarts Express trip to school, Harry, Ron and Hermione are
in the train compartment with a sleeping Lupin and for apparently no reason,
the sneakoscope Ron had given to Harry for a birthday gift started going
off.

Is it to do with Pettigrew!Scabbers?  Or is Lupin only pretending to sleep
and eavesdropping?  Any thoughts on who's being untrustworthy??"

Sherry says:

I've always thought it was wormtail.  Doesn't the sneakoscope go off several
times, when Scabbers is around?  the kids think it's just defective, so they
don't pay any attention.  I remember the second time I read, POA--it's my
favorite of all the books so far--I thought of wormtail right away the when
the sneakoscope went off in the train.
