" Sirius wholeheartedly believed that Peter deserved to die for the 
chain of events that started when Peter divulged the Potter's secret
location. Not only did Peter betray the Potter's, he betrayed Harry,
Sirius, Dumbledore & the Order, and ultimately the WW at large. 
Peter's one act had devastating consequences for several generations."

Del replies :
Huh, actually, the one act with devastating consequences is Sirius
having the brilliant idea of making Peter Secret-Keeper. Peter had
been betraying them for a year, everyone considered him as a weak
little thing, I don't even understand how he became a member of the
Order or how he wasn't suspected of being the traitor, and yet Sirius
suggests making him SK ??
