Hannah asked :
"So can anyone remember what the third question was, and what do
people think the 'interesting' answer might have been?"

Kneasy answered :
"It was questioning the whereabouts of Pettigrew in book 5 IIRC, and
it was the one I voted for.

Since the rat doesn't do anything on his own initiative these days I
thought it might be vaguely interesting to find out what he'd been
sent off to do. If, as you surmise the answer really is "interesting"
then she's pulled a fast one on us - because I can't  find any clues
anywhere."

Del replies :
I voted for that one too, precisely because I couldn't find *any* clue
as to what Peter's been doing all year. It seems strange to me that he
should disappear from the picture so completely and so suddenly. He
was introduced as a very major character at the end of PoA (betrayed
the Potters, framed Sirius), and he played a major role in GoF
(brought LV back from Albania and resurrected his body), so it doesn't
make sense that he should suddenly disappear.

Of course, one could say that LV doesn't need him anymore now that
he's got his DEs back, but I'm not so sure. So if we assume that LV
didn't simply kill him off, where has Peter gone ? He doesn't appear
in any of Harry's visions, he's not at the MoM. Maybe he is preparing
the next stage in LV's plans ? If so, we might discover that whatever
he did during OoP will have a major impact on what happens in HBP and
Book 7.

But as Kneasy said, it is rather strange that we can't seem to find
*any* clue about him. Knowing JKR, she *would* give us a lead, however
faint...
