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.

Mandy again:
Yipee, I not completely alone! ;-)  I know I have no canon, and the 
evidence is against me, but I'm holding out for a deeper, more 
conflict Peter Pettigrew.  We know he's coming back for more fun in 
the next 2 books, I hope he has a big show with Harry so we can 
glimpse into his psyche a little deeper.

Cheers Mandy, 
Wormtail is misunderstood. ;-)
