That's a possibility, although in my own warped mind, I more often
picture Wormtail slamming his 'silver' hand into Voldemort's chest and
ripping his heart out. (remember you read it here first.)

Do we really have any evidence that the hand is truly metalic silver,
and not just silver in color? There is a very very slight hint of it
being 'molten' when it first appears, but agian it's unclear if that
is in descriptive appearance only, or if it was intented as literal.
Personally, I didn't take it as literal.

I honestly don't think we have enough information to draw any serious
conclusion. I think, and hopefully it will be the next book, we need
to see more of Wormtail and his hand, before we can know for sure.

Just a thought.
