Sigune says:
Yes he is! It rather confuses me to read references to Pettigrew's 
lack of magical ability all the time, when he does some impressive 
magic in our faces.
Poor silly powerless Peter Pettigrew kills a whole street full of 
Muggles, defeats Sirius and gets away transformed as a rat;
Poor silly powerless Peter Pettigrew brews a potion that restores old 
Voldy to his body.
It seems to me Mssrs Moony, Padfoot and Prongs have a serious lack of 
judgment when it comes to both friends (Pettigrew) and enemies 
(Snape).

Yours severely,

Isn't that what Rowling has done this whole series, I mean that she has shown 
Neville as a timid character, nearly a squib and lets everyone think that he 
doesn't belong in Gryffindor while also giving us little bits of his bravery 
that is sometimes completely overlooked. How about Lupin, easygoing, wearing 
shabby clothes but is very competent in DADA.
