Or, perhaps, is the problem that we're thinking of the glimpse of 15-
year old Peter that we got, and just cleanly extrapolating it to 21-
year old Peter?  There's the eminent possibility that some things 
changed quite a bit from one situation to the other.  Not really 
enough information to tell, perhaps.

One could address the issue of the last sentence a number of ways; 
Peter hiding cunning, the others being trusting and not noticing 
changes, OscarWinning!Peter (a nice change of pace from OscarWinning!
Snape)...not enough information.  Just wanted to toss out the 
possible influence of the passing of time, though.
