My only response to this particular question right now is that he is
an arrogant berk....meaning that if he doesn't get a grip soon, we
are simply watching what happens when people get scared. I hope HE
realizes soon that it is not about "running and seeking the "safety
of power"; actually for Percy I'd have to say the safety of
PERCEIVED power, also known as the "Pettigrew Route"...I tend to
think he will not follow the "Pettigrew route" as he had enough
skills and personal attributes to make prefect AND head boy. One
thing JKR beats us over our heads with thoughout the books is that
folks have a great deal many "Natural Consequences" when they become
too full of themselves--muggle, human, or otherwise.

Most likely lording over those "less loyal" to Voldemort. Crushing
hands/fingers in a hand shake, putting the slap on Bella....trying
to cast spells while holding the wand in his more "powerful" new
hand. All, the while, he is steadily putting as much geographical
disgtance between himself and Voldemort.
I still have the feeling that Peter felt he paid his life dept to
Harry by not informing Voldemort that Harry had been bitten by that
spider in the maze--more than Dumbledore's gleam which we assume
means Voldemort is once again mortal....the spider venom in Harrys
blood would me that he is also poisoned..Not only this, but he is
poisoned by the "nemisis"(sider) of the Basilisk (serpent). It would
be too good for Peter let Harry defeat Voldemort then claim that
Harry had a life debt to himself(wormtail)...Until he bides most of
his time, Pettigrew is probably busy cracking walnuts and crab claws
for the MOST LOYAL DE's, Bellatrix in particular. (a silver handy
houseelf)...

> my last').
Well since DD doesn't strike me as the "make-a-threat" type of
individual, I suppose that it would mean that Harry would keep the
Dursely family safe as long as he resided there. Due to Lily's
sacrifice we know that Voldemort cannot harm Harry on privet
drive...so, not only would Volde be hard pressed to show up there
(given that Harry is always watched)...but there is also probably
something in Harry that protects them from harm as well. We gather
that Petunia knew about dementors in light of "what they were"...if
Harry stated he saved Dudley, then perhaps a distant memory
resurfaced.
I do however believe that Petunia may have met DD at Lily and James'
wedding.
JMHO, of course, like most I'm wrong. I'm just trying to make sense
of it all.
