Remus is the worst (Peter's motivation)

Mandy here:
I have speculated that he was put in a position where he had to 
choose between his family and his friends.  Of course this is pure 
speculation, but it does beg the question how do you choose between 
people you love?  

Now xani:
I too am fascinated by Peter and the choices he made.  Is he really 
Evil, or just weak?  I would like to think that he had to make a 
terrible choice to try to save someone, but there is evidence 
against it.

In the Shack, Peter defends his actions by saying that Voldemort was 
going to kill him only.  It would have made for a much more tragic 
and complex scene if Peter had told Sirius that he had to do what he 
did because the DE's had his mother, sibling, child.  That would 
have helped Sirius (and us) understand and empathize with him.

But JKR has shown us only a weak man who gave his friends lives for 
his own.
