Let me just say 'forgive me if someone has already posted this 
before now'...Moving on then!  

With all this talk of who could the HBP be, it got me to thinking 
about other 'soon to be important characters' in the end of the 
series.  Have some of you forgotten about little Peter Pettigrew?  
In ch.22 of PoA Dumbledore states that Harry did a very "noble" 
(much like the noble Black family mentioned in OotP) thing saving 
Pettigrew's life.  Dumbledore then went on to say: "Pettigrew owes 
his life to you. You have sent Voldemort a deputy who is in your 
debt....When one wizard saves another wizard's life, it "creates a 
certain bond" between them.... "This is magic at its "deepest", 
its "most impenetrable"..."  "Trust me...the time may come when you 
will be very glad you saved Pettigrew's life."

My question is...how important will Pettigrew be in books 6 & 7?  
How 'deep' and 'impenetrable' can this magic bond be?  Will Peter 
Pettigrew come to his senses in time? Or will he be forced to act on 
the behalf of Harry because of their 'bond'?  Something tells me we 
haven't heard the last of little Peter Pettigrew.  He may have been 
a whiney, scared, frumpy, idol-worshiping follower...but he wasn't 
put in GRYFFINDOR for nothing!!!!
