Annemehr:
Even two of James' three friends turning up evil is quite a lot; may
as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb, and consider all three.  If I
were betting, though, I'd put my money on Peter alone being evil, but
that's merely (IMO) the safest option and not much fun.  And by no
means certain.

I don't *actually* think Hermione is evil (do I?).  It's just that,
casting my mind over the options while writing that post, I noticed
just how much she was *not helping* in OoP.  Also, I'm vowing to keep
my mind open, really consider all the possibilities, and rule nothing
out.  After all, I believe that's how Pippin came up with ESE!Lupin in
the first place, surprising even herself in the process.

Incidentally, though I don't ever remember reading one, I'm sure
someone must have posted a theory on Innoncent!Peter in here somewhere...
