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.

Also Stefanie ponders:

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)...

Stefanie ponders:
> //3) What did Dumbledore's Howler to Aunt Petunia mean? ('Remember 
> 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.
