Jen: Pettigrew is mysteriously absent. No character development, no 
clues to his whereabouts...just gone.  Sirius mentioned him once, 
commenting that his Padfoot disguise was useless after Pettigrew 
leaked the information to LV. 

(As a side note, I find it interesting PP didn't leak this info to 
LV during the first war when he was spying on the Order. Surely the 
illegal animagi used their ability to thwart LV and this would be 
valuable information to pass to LV.)

I've read several theories about PP's absence, from acting as a spy 
inside Hogwarts (as Wormtail), to playing Polyjuice!Percy while the 
real Percy is locked up somewhere.

I tend to think he left LV. He's such a little toady, but at the 
same time his safety is the most important thing. Pettigrew's not 
incompetent by any means and after all those years as a rat, he must 
know places he can hide safely. He'll reappear, though. He has a 
part in several unresolved story lines, esp. the night at Godric's 
Hollow, the silver hand and the life-debt to Harry.
